Princeton, NJ, October 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Information Security Media Group, publisher of BankInfoSecurity.com, CUinfoSecurity.com, GovInfoSecurity.com, and HealthcareInfoSecurity.com announces a timely web-based event focused on cloud computing security, and how banking institutions can securely and successfully utilize cloud computing.

The webinar, entitled Cloud Computing: The Gotchas and the Gains - Proven Strategies for Success in the Cloud, debuts Wednesday, November 3, 2010.

Today, with more banking services to offer and more hosting options from vendors, banking institutions have a broad range of Cloud Computing opportunities before them. But they also have significant questions to answer re: scale, security, privacy and true business benefits.

In this session, Matt Speare, SVP of IT at a large U.S. financial services organization, will lead our Cloud Computing discussion - setting the stage with a presentation depicting a banking institution's approach to the Cloud. He'll discuss not just the theory of Cloud - but about the real business benefits that pioneer banking institutions are realizing today. Michael Smith, Security Evangelist with Akamai, and Kristin Lovejoy, Director, GRM & Corporate Security Strategy at IBM, will discuss proven solutions to help financial institutions utilize cloud computing.

During this webinar, the panel will discuss:
- Advantages and disadvantages of storing data or running applications online, as opposed to in-house;
- Current regulatory trends toward better security and privacy standards - and how they impact cloud computing;
- Legal, privacy, records management and ethical challenges that have been identified by cloud pioneers -- and strategies to avoid those pitfalls.
