The Cloud is here; now secure it

15.08.2012
Organisations are no longer talking about cloud adoption. For most organisations, the cloud is already here; it is a reality. The discussion now is about the need for best practices and technologies to secure the cloud.

This was one of the main highlights of CloudSec 2012, a cloud security event held in Singapore on 15 August.

At the event, keynote speakers from industry leaders such as Trend Micro, VMWare, Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), and National Institute of Science and Technology underlined the need to boost customer confidence and urged all stakeholders to come together to resolve the fundamental issues that bedevil cloud security today.

At the event, a signing ceremony to highlight the also took place. The ceremony also brought attention to the partnership between CSA, the Economic Development Board (EDB) and Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) to further cloud security in Singapore.

Cloud drives innovation and trends such as analytics and Big Data, social networking and consumerisation of IT are feeding the cloud frenzy, said Dave Asprey, global vice president, Cloud Security, Trend Micro.
