"Even with all the awareness of the benefits of cloud technology, an overwhelming number of companies still have concerns about security, privacy and data management in the cloud and conferences such as this one are an important forum to address, discuss and resolve these concerns," explained CSA’s Chief Technology Officer, Daniele Catteddu. "SecureCloud will bring together some of the cloud industry's top experts and thought leaders and we expect that it will draw substantial interest from the industry. We anticipate that this year's event will further grow this body of knowledge and help us achieve a more trusted and secure cloud environment."
