Cloud Computing and Virtual Desktop Security Challenges March 13, 2009

Cloud Computing and Virtualized Desktops are being regarded as one of the most eminent threat vectors in 2009 and beyond. With an increasing number of companies switching from fat client computing desktops to a virtualized desktop and other virtualized applications, the risk concerns are obviously moving along.
Indeed, virtualization reduces a large proportion of the headaches of desktop clients and the personal users; but new threats are coming up, sometimes creating major risks or even single points of failures.

During this seminar, we are aiming to present an overview on how to improve security on such environments and how to learn with evolving threats and risks involved. Some solutions are becoming apparent and risks are getting clearer.

We invite all sectors and ICT departments to participate in this afternoon seminar, and discuss your key concerns and ideas amongst your peers. The seminar will be directed to IT Professionals, Risk & Security managers and officers, CxO’s, project managers, program managers, system architects, system integrators, business and it consultants and security managers.
