Join the SECtember Experience

CSA is excited to launch the SECtember Experience, a webinar series that will provide a preview of the top-notch content attendees can expect to receive at the in-person SECtember conference in 2021. This complimentary series is designed to guide participants on their race to the cloud, while offering the opportunity to earn CPE credits. As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations are accelerating their migration to the cloud as the optimal strategy to support a virtual workforce and enable digital transformation. To meet this unprecedented need, the SECtember Experience will deliver a webinar at 11AM each day, September 8-25, covering a range of topics critical to moving to and securing data in the cloud. Among the sessions will be keynote speeches from Global 2000 security leaders, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) panels, and cloud security technology deep dives. For the latest agenda and speaker information, please visit www.sectember.com.

On August 19th and 20th, the West Michigan Cloud Security Alliance is thrilled to bring you one of the only cloud-centric security conventions in the world, CloudConGR!

The CSA-DC Chapter is proud to support local university research efforts that operate to effect improved cloud security for the community.  Additionally, we understand the desire of many of our members to get involved in open collaboration and advanced research activities. As a result, we are honored to deliver the following research support opportunity to our membership.  Ms. Shannon Pearson is conducting research as part of her Doctoral program at Capella University on the use of encryption in cloud security. As you know, encryption technologies though generally agreed to deliver strong data protection against compromises to confidentiality and integrity, may also present management complexities and have performance impacts.  As a topic of interest to our membership, we are pleased to pass along the invitation to support her research (https://qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3NUhMCicW7JrKrb) which will also result in a CSA-DC Chapter specific report that we will distribute to our members upon completion.

 

Your support for the CSA-DC Chapter is always greatly appreciated and your research ideas are continually sought. Thank you in advance for your participation and please do consider joining the Research Committee because together we make the difference!

 

Sincerely,

 

Mari J. Spina, D.Sc

CSA-DC Research Committee Chair
