Cloud Security Horizons Summit 2016
The Cloud Security Horizons Summit series is organized by computer science faculty at Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell Tech, Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. This series is funded by NSF, via a grant to these faculty to conduct research in cloud security.
The 2016 summit will be a small, focused working meeting, involving the eight faculty involved in the project and their research teams, as well industry and government participants. So far we have confirmations from members of Amazon, VMWare, Capital One, AT&T, Qualcomm, Dropbox, NIST, IBM, Arbor Networks, and more. The goals of the meeting are to support exchange of best-practice ideas among the participants; to explore the role that researchers can play in improving security for cloud infrastructures and their tenants; and to gain feedback on the research that we are presently pursuing.
Location
The 2016 summit will be held at Cornell Tech in New York City on March 31 (full day) and April 1, 2016 (morning only). The address is:
111 8th Avenue #302
