10/29/09 – Cloud Security
Monday, October 26th, 2009Krishna Kumar from Microsoft will be in town Thursday, October 29th for a lovely presentation on cloud security. It’s a different time but the same location, CS209A. This event is hosted by both ACM-SIG Security and the newly established IEEE Computer Society. After the meeting, Josh Eads (from our previous meeting) will be talking about possibly starting up a specialised branch of SIG-Security for reverse engineering, SIG-SEC|Reversing. For more information about that, make sure to stick around. Now for the details of SIG-SEC’s meeting:
Every few years, a revolution changes the way we use computers. Think of huge Mainframes in the 1960s, Minicomputers in the 1970s, Personal Computers in the 1980s and Smartphones over the last decade. Cloud computing is poised to be the next big paradigm shift in the computing landscape by bringing together advances in technologies like Virtualization, massive scale computing, communication formats and flexible data protocols. With advances by Microsoft, Amazon and other leaders in computing, this field is slated as the fastest growing segment of the technology industry in terms of investment, development and recruitment.
Join in the Microsoft Cloud Computing talk to learn more about this exciting development and about Windows Azure – our internet-scale cloud services platform, which provides an operating system and a rich set of developer services that allow you to build new applications to run from the cloud or enhance existing applications with cloud-based capabilities.
