With the rapid emergence of cloud computing technologies, users are facing new risks, beyond the usual concerns of traditional IT security, caused by the external aspects of the cloud model. Cloud computing based on "Platform-as-a-Service"(PaaS) or "Software-as-a-Service"(SaaS) metaphors, presents additional technological challenges in the areas of data integrity, recovery, and tenant isolation, as well as additional legal challenges, including data auditing and regulatory compliance. Overcoming these additional risks is critical to the broad adoption of cloud technologies.

The panelists will discuss the main security risks of cloud computing and the proposed approaches to their mitigation. They will also address the impact of these new security risks on the privacy expectations of the users.
