Cloud Computing: Protecting Your Data, Reducing Risk, and Addressing Contracting Issues

However, there is a great deal of risk inherent to cloud-based transactions, including the use of data in the cloud, the amount of potential access to that data, and the security measures that are taken to secure the data. The risk extends through quality control issues and service-level agreements that may be required to ensure your company receives the promised level of services, as well as reputational risks to your company in the event of supplier’s failure and compliance risks associated with several federal and state laws applicable to this area.

Join corporate counsel and IT professionals for a highly practical, engaging, and dynamic session that will address:

• Recent lessons learned from industry implementation
  
• Practical applications for cloud computing – what works and what doesn’t
  
• The provisions a company’s contracts must contain to protect it in today’s shifting legal and IT landscapes
  
• Key cloud risks and concerns that every company should evaluate prior to entering into a deal that involves cloud-based services
  
• Critical drafting and negotiation skills to complete cloud transactions efficiently
  
• Key concerns and risks associated with implementing cloud applications
  
• Risk mitigation strategies
