Cloud computing is predicted as a natural extension of Web 2.0 with emphasis on openness, interoperability, and better IT economics. There is also an increasingly dark lining to this silver cloud in the form of personal data privacy risk and new business liabilities as a result of cloud dependence. This session not only helps draw the cloud as a business movement but illustrates the inherent data risks of even being there. The session will also highlight the growing global compliance risks and costs as they consider Web 2.0 and cloud computing for their enterprise.
