According to Shakespeare, “Every Cloud Engenders Not a Storm”

Users were first introduced to the idea that their data was stored somewhere in the ether, aka “the cloud” around 2010. But that vague notion of the cloud was not reality. In the decade that followed, cloud computing has shaped how firms store, utilize and assess data. Despite its many benefits, the cloud presents new challenges for data security. Some nations have responded to this challenge by asserting that they must have their own national cloud. Our webinar on November 23, at 10:30 focused on the role of data in cloud computing, data sovereignty, and related security issues. Our three speakers examined cloud computing from different vantage points in a moderated discussion.

Speakers:

Trey Herr, Director, Cyber Statecraft Initiative, The Atlantic Council

Josephine Wolff, Assistant Professor, Cybersecurity Policy, Tufts University

Chelsea J. Smethurst, Senior Security Strategy, Cybersecurity Strategy, Microsoft

Moderator:

Professor Costis Toregas, Director, Cyber Security and Privacy Research Institute, George Washington
