SITC - Security Innovation & Technology Consortium

Venue: Ubicenter, 3001 Heverlee, near Leuven, Belgium 

Background

During this seminar, which is organised by LSEC as part of the SIGNATURE: The European Security Innovation Network, we want to try to get most of the uncertainties out, and remove the clouds from the cloud in terms of security challenges.

• Can we put trust in the cloud?
• To what extent and at which levels?
• What is the level of granularity and maybe layers of confidence that we have to build upon?
• What is needed for the clouds to be trusted and to become secure?

How does this work in an ever changing and challenged environment which is facing new security threats every next day.

We have invited both Cloud Service Providers and Security Experts to challenge and be challenged.  We don't expect to receive all answers, but at least some issues will rise, and a discussion at large can be held properly.

This seminar is intended to all business people considering cloud services that want to be informed about their options and potential risks, to all security managers and executives who might feel threatened by the opportunity of the cloud services, to all IT auditors that want to be informed about challenges and opportunities, to executive management that needs to be informed about risks and potential costs versus the cost reduction potential that they get presented.
