Event - Cloud Computing what directors need to know

Jane Brabham will be presenting at the Australian Institute of Company Directors on the 6th of December from 5:30-7:30pm.

The pressure on the modern business to be “super connected” utilising all forms of communication media is intense. With the ever greater demands for rationalisation, efficiency and return on investment companies are being educated to the benefits of distributing data across the internet, so called “Cloud Computing”. The introduction of cloud computing has been considered by some to be the next business revolution for the sharing and processing of information.

We have become familiar with hackers, Distributed Denial of Service attacks, viruses and plain old theft of data but cloud computing introduces fresh challenges to ensuring data integrity and the combating of cybercrime.

The panel of presenters will discuss:
• What should companies consider when preparing to undertake a shift towards cloud computing?
• Do you even need to migrate to the cloud and, if so, in the post Centro age what as directors should we be made aware of?
• How can data integrity be ensured?
• How best can companies prevent, detect and investigate any breaches of security?

This briefing is for those organisations who are considering moving, or who have already moved, to the cloud and will highlight the business considerations, reputational risk, commercial pitfalls and legal implications for boards and their directors.
