About the Program:
Recent advancement in hardware, networking, middleware, and virtualization technologies have led to an emergence of a new, geographically distributed computing platforms, known as Cloud Computing, that provide computational facilities (Computing, Storage and Network) as services accessible from anywhere via the Internet without significant investments in Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, and critical human resource or software licensing. This program will introduce the audience about security and privacy concerns in cloud computing, which makes the clients reluctant to adopt cloud computing despite all its benefits. Further, the program discusses the critical security and privacy challenges in the cloud computing, existing defense solution their strength and limitations. Furthermore, the program includes practical demonstration of cloud computing facilities on Amazon Web Services (AWS Cloud).
Target Audience: Graduates, Faculty and Professionals.
Prerequisite:
Laptop/Desktop with Internet Connection
AWS Free Account
Basic Knowledge of Cloud Computing
