Keynote Address

Building Trust in the Cloud

Dave Cullinane
Chief Information Security Officer
eBay

 

Cloud computing and virtualization offer incredible opportunities to today's business. They are essential to enable the innovation that is critical to success in today's rapidly changing business environment. They also have the potential to drastically alter the world of IT as we know it. Compliance, security, continuity assurance, and audit will all change in a world of clouds and virtualized applications.

This opening session will talk about the changes and what needs to be done, now and in the future, to fulfill our obligations in these areas. The session will review the 13 domains of security concerns, the needed control and compliance requirements, and the Trusted Cloud Initiative as mechanisms to assist you in determining how to securely leverage the extraordinary benefits of cloud computing. 

Dave Cullinane is the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for eBay, where he is responsible for security programs to protect eBay and its many adjacent businesses (StubHub, Shopping.com, etc.). Prior to joining eBay, he was the CISO for one of the largest banks in the US. With more than 30 years of security experience, Cullinane is actively involved in the information security community and serves on many professional Boards. In 2004 and 2005 he was nominated for Information Security Executive of the Year, and awarded SC Magazine’s Global Award as Chief Security Officer in 2005. He was awarded CSO Magazine’s 2006 Compass Award as a “Visionary Leader of the Security Profession.”

Las Vegas Strip (PHOTO CREDIT: Las Vegas News Bureau)Location: Las Vegas

Magnificent hotels glow green and gold. Pink, red, yellow, blue and white neon pulsates all around. Electric lights flash. Music plays. Volcanoes erupt. Fountains soar.

Cars create two moving streams of light, red and white. People in the thousands walk up, down and over the Strip. Roller coasters corkscrew high above the ground. A laser beam, visible from space, penetrates the night sky, inviting the whole universe to come and play.

And that's only outside - step into any of the iconic casino resorts along the Strip, and you'll enter a world of pure imagination.
