Freefalling: Taking Your Startup to 100% Cloud
by Brandon Wiley
Startups love the cloud. It's lean, it's agile, it's cost-effective for startups. As cloud services proliferate, it has become possible to run your web and mobile applications using 100% cloud services. This has an added benefit over using the cloud for part of your infrastructure. There are no servers to configure and no operations team to maintain the servers. There are only the code and the customers. This is the art of freefalling, where all you need to grow your application from an idea to a successful business is a laptop. This session will cover the process of moving to a pure cloud infrastructure, the advantages, and the pitfalls as well as how to avoid them.

Securing the Cloud: What's Your Cloud Entry Point?
by Wade Holmes
The move to cloud computing is still froth with questions about the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data moved to the cloud. These questions, and their answers, differ depending on the cloud entry point chosen by the end-user. Potential cloud entry points include Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, or Software-as-a-Service (IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS) cloud computing solutions. This presentation will review the current state of affairs around cloud computing security, and delve into security considerations end-users should make for each of the differing cloud solution entry points. This session is part of the Big Data Track is sponsored by Gemalto.
