Topic: "Mythbusting the FUD around Cloud Security"

Cloud computing is not a new technology, it's a new way of delivering computing resources. There is much fear, uncertainty, and doubt surrounding cloud computing. This presentation directly addresses that FUD and guides the listener in rethinking, not reinventing, cloud security.
