Building and Securing Applications in the Cloud 2012 | Washington, DC

July 24, 2012

Government and Education customers are eager to move their applications to the cloud to save money and increase efficiency, but they need to carefully consider how application security changes in a cloud environment. Application software running on or being developed for cloud computing platforms presents different security challenges depending on the delivery model of the particular platform. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Worldwide Public Sector and its cloud partners can help.

Please join us for our “Building and Securing Applications in the Cloud” event on July 24, at the Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel.

Attend this event and you will learn about the latest technology trends, compliance practices, and some of the most interesting AWS partners’ case studies for securing applications in the Cloud. You can choose the sessions that best apply to your situation and will help you get started or dive deeper into specific solutions. Breakout sessions will cover how to best design, deploy, monitor, and protect applications and data in the cloud. You will also have an opportunity to meet AWS experts and get your technical questions answered by our cloud partners at the Solutions Showcase. There is no cost to attend this event, but space is limited so sign up today!
