CloudPassage to Speak on Cloud Security at RSA Conference 2014 and AGC Partner's Annual Information Security & Technology Growth Conference

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 20, 2014) - CloudPassage, the leader in Software Defined Security (SDSec) and creator of Halo, today announced that CEO and co-founder Carson Sweet will discuss cloud security in the wake of Edward Snowden at AGC Partners' 10th Annual Information Security & Technology Growth Conference on Monday, February 24. Later that week at RSA Conference 2014, CloudPassage's Senior Director of DevOps Andrew Storms and Eric Hoffmann, Director of QA, will both lead a discussion on building a model for shared responsibility between security and DevOps teams.

In his panel discussion, Sweet will discuss the security challenges and considerations for hosting data in public, private and hybrid cloud environments. As businesses migrate to cloud environments at a rapid pace, many struggle to understand the different regulatory and legal requirements that come with hosting data outside of their organization as well as what is needed to retain more control of their data in the cloud.

At AGC Partners' 10th Annual Information Security & Technology Growth Conference:

What: Data Protection in a Cloudy World
When: Monday, February 24, 2014 from 2:15-3:00 p.m.
Where: Westin San Francisco Market Street

At RSA Conference 2014, Storms and Hoffman will discuss how the self-service and on-demand nature of the cloud allows developers to work fast -- faster than security operations teams can keep up. Security professionals are tasked with ensuring compliance without slowing down their increasingly agile DevOps teams.

When: Friday, February 28, 2014 at 9:00am
