Topic: "Cloud Computing: Weathering the Storm" - A recent CIO forum hosted by Ernst & Young has shown that more than 50% of companies are using cloud computing, yet many of these organisations were unaware of this fact. Cloud computing has been identified as one of the key IT risks in 2010, challenging traditional approaches as the control and custody of information is further ceded.

This presentation will explore the definition of cloud computing, who is using it and what risks exist for an organisations's IT security function.
