Topic: Identity and Security in the Cloud - The objective of this meeting is to provide members with an overview of identity, security and compliance issues when considering cloud based services.

Members will be provided with an overview of "Security in the cloud". We are delighted to have Bret Hartman, CTO RSA present this topic. Bret has co-authored two white papers with VMWare and EMC around this subject - "Security Compliance in a Virtual World" and "Identity and Data Protection in the Cloud". Following this, we are pleased to have Glenn Gore, CTO MelbourneIT share with AISA members his experiences in making 'The Cloud" work on the ground. This is a key area of interest for AISA members so we are extremely fortunate to have the CTO's from RSA and MelbourneIT, Australia's largest hosted service provider.
