As banking and financial institutions seek to benefit from tremendous cost savings possible with cloud infrastructure and services – two key factors must be considered – the Patriot Act which has strict stipulations regarding access to data and where it is stored and the protection of data even from third party service providers. This seminar will explore both these issues and by using some common examples such as BPOS, propose a framework for addressing both without impacting operational costs or adding large amounts of excess infrastructure.

The Patriot Act and the move to cloud computing create tensions for a cohesive data security strategy:

		What critical impacts does the newly extended Patriot Act have on sensitive data in the cloud?
		What are the risks to cloud-based consumer information?
		How can you address data sovereignty issues given the cloud computing infrastructure?

Register for this webinar to learn:

		What impacts does the newly extended Patriot Act have on sensitive data in the cloud?
		What are the risks to consumer information stored in the cloud from 3rd parties?
		How can you address data sovereignty issues with cloud computing infrastructure?

The virtual nature of cloud computing opens up cost savings that are difficult to ignore, yet two orthogonal but perhaps complimentary issues make having a cohesive data security strategy more dramatically more complex.

The first is the recently extended U.S. Patriot Act which provides for sweeping abilities for law enforcement to access data stored in U.S. Data Centers - regardless of geography. Often in conflict with local, e.g. European Union Data Protection legislation, there are complex issues ahead concerning the protection of data as it crosses international boundaries.

The second issue is that of protecting the data stored in cloud infrastructure - with its virtual nature - it's not possible to know necessarily where a piece of data is being stored in the cloud - nor is it always clear who exactly at the 3rd party service provider has access to that data.

The question becomes it is possible to have a strategy where data from international jurisdictions can be stored in the cloud whilst retaining clear lines of separation? Similarly is it possible for enterprise to control their data stored in a 3rd party cloud without knowing exactly where it is?

It turns out that some new advances in key management could help resolve both these scenarios. By using some common examples, e.g. "How to protect sensitive emails in Microsoft BPOS/Office 365 Environments" and "How to enforce sovereignty of data stored in a cloud based infrastructure", we'll help uncover:

		The specific threats to data in the cloud
		How to segregate data using encryption keys
		How to protect and control data stored in the cloud
