• No Rainy Days: Identity Protection in the Cloud

  by Eric Youngstrom, Francis D'Addario, Oren Hamami and Suzanne Barber

  Cloud computing has made the move from new concept to technology that your mother uses. We now are entrusting so many different types of data to the cloud from financial statements and credit card numbers to our music collection and private emails. Yet how secure is the cloud and how much control do we have over the data that we entrust to it? If that data is stolen, will we know and what can we do? Who has jurisdictional authority over the data we store and under what circumstances can it be given away? This panel will try to answer these questions and more as we explore the impact of the cloud and what it means for personal identity and security.

• Dealing with the Media Data Explosion

  by Chris Kantrowitz, Frank Gillett, Jon Healey and Jade Mcqueen

  There were 5 Exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003, but that much information is now created every 2 days.”
  -Eric Schmidt-

  As the amount of data in the world explodes, the ability to manage all of this information has become increasingly difficult. In 2009, over $4 trillion dollars was spent to manage close to 800,000 petabytes of data (1 PB = 1M GB) - by 2020, total data is expected to be 44 times that!

  And 70% of this data is media.

  As businesses move their infrastructure to the cloud, it’s critical to understand the ramifications of doing so. This panel will look at the technologies and practical applications of media data management – what they are, how they work, how companies can benefit from them, and the risks and limitations.

  Topics covered will include the basics of the cloud, the differences between consumer facing and enterprise technologies, where things are today, and what to expect in the next 5 years.
