Microsoft get this right, from the datacenter to the end-user, and even the connection to your on-premise systems, there is now a compelling proposition when weighing-up moving your data to the cloud.

In Lewis’ session ‘‘Security, reliability, compliance and governance; the importance of aligning the Cloud with your existing security and governance policies" (15:00 – 15:45), he will look to discuss the following critical issues surrounding Cloud Computing:

-    What security processes are currently being used by Cloud service providers?
-    What accreditations are in place to certify Cloud service providers? And what do they mean?
-    How is your data regulated & what legal issues may arise when it crosses geographical boundaries? Including data protection and financial regulation
-    How can you comply with industry-specific regulations with Cloud computing?
-    Investigating availability guarantees and penalties and examining your supplier’s disaster recovery strategy
-    The importance of clarifying where your data will be stored and who will have access to your information
-    Ultimately, who has control over your data?
