"This year marks the 10-year anniversary of CSA's founding, and to commemorate this milestone, the CSA Summit will bring key thought leaders to the main stage and look ahead to the next 10 years of cloud security. We're excited to celebrate an extraordinary decade and look forward to another 10 years of raising awareness of best practices to help ensure not only a secure cloud computing environment but one in which emerging technologies present more opportunities than threats," said Jim Reavis, founder and CEO, Cloud Security Alliance.
