Mr. Michael Ferris

Session Outline: 

Cloud Computing, the Enterprise and Open Source, Getting Beyond the Hype

Cloud Computing is driving fundamental changes which alter both the capabilities and economics of information technology.  With many enterprises looking to deploy cloud solutions, there is a growing realization of not only the benefits, but of the challenges that cloud computing must overcome.   Only by recognizing both the challenges and benefits of a cloud deployment will enterprises be able to achieve the reduced costs and increased operational efficiency at the scale which can be delivered by the cloud. 

This presentation will discuss cloud computing benefits and challenges from a business, technical, and legal perspective and demonstrate the role that open source and open standards will play in delivering the full promise of cloud computing.

 

Mr. Ed Eldridge

Director of Data Center & Storage Solutions

Accunet Solutions, Inc.

Session Outline: 

The presentation will focus on technology alternatives being considered and utilized by organizations which have decided not to pursue the public cloud options in their current form. In many cases these technologies are implemented to form private clouds (or at least the appearance of cloud-like services) as organizations wait to see the cloud offerings mature to where they can be implement compatible or complementary technologies. The session will include a brief overview of some of the technical, business, and legal objections these organizations have to current cloud offerings.

ARRA/HITECH

 Law that was signed into law earlier this year and its’ impact .

 

 The impacts on the health care industry and business associates of them outlining the heightened privacy and security standards for health information included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) — also known as the economic stimulus bill. Under these provisions, more organizations may face civil and criminal penalties for failing to protect personal health records as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). At the same time, the ARRA strengthens HIPAA data security and breach notification requirements.

He will help you make sense of the ARRA ’s health privacy provisions by examining:

  • Changes to HIPAA’s privacy and security mandates;
  • New HIPAA enforcement provisions, including the potential for individual criminal liability; and
  • What types of organizations may now be required to comply with HIPAA

 

Before ARRA, HIPAA did not directly affect organizations that provided data services to hospitals and other covered entities. Now those organizations can be held accountable for failure to comply with HIPAA’s privacy provisions.

Dan and I are putting together the Spring Security Grab bag, we're gathering the best speakers we can get our hands on for a great day covering 3 (maybe 4) topics everyone will be interested in.  Currently we have Ed Adams (President & CEO, Security Innovation) with a presentation on Application Security Maturity Models (straight from RSA '09!) and Dr. M. E. Kabay (with a discussion on the security statistics we are fed every day.)  These are two of the best speakers we've had since I joined the ISSA and Dan and I are  looking forward to seeing you there!  We've also just confirmed Ulf Mattsson (CTO, Protegrity) who comes highly recommended, and who will be discussing how to evaluate data protection technologies.

 

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
