2011 Speaker List

An exploration of cyber risk patterns to understand the financial implications of using the cloud or providing one. While Cloud Computing offers shared platforms for low cost and economies of scale, the business models also present the reality of shared risk and responsibility. This presentation leverages financial and threat analytics of cyber events over the last 6 years and provides insights into where Cyber Risk has emerged…and what the implications of shared risk are for the future of cloud computing.

Is a cloud risk transfer market or insurance market is necessary, too late, or too soon? SLA slow downs, shared risk debates and liability questions have become more important negotiations than “just security.” This panel will debate the myths of cloud risk and the realities of cloud liability, and challenge the common Silicon Valley perspective that “clouds don’t break.” The “cost to fail” should clouds become major concentrations of data and availability will also be explored.
