Founded in 2011, CLOUDSEC summits are Asia Pacific's leading cloud security events for CXOs and senior managers. These events are vendor-neutral and features presentations by industry experts who will address a wide spectrum of real-world challenges and strategies in cybersecurity today. The tagline "Have A Safe Journey" seeks to inspire managers and users of cloud computing to adopt the best practices and proven technologies from around the world to secure their journey from physical, to virtual, and finally to the cloud, in an efficient and effective way.

"Each year, CLOUDSEC Summits bring together some of the world-renowned cybersecurity experts and industry thought leaders for a valuable time of knowledge sharing, interactive discussions and networking. This year, the Summits will be held in Bangkok, Delhi, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore and Taipei presenting an even larger and more exciting event in each of these cities. As many new topics in cybersecurity has surfaced in recent times, the Summits will grow beyond its original focus on cloud security to include other key topics such as Cyber Threats (Targeted Attacks), Consumerisation (BYOD/Mobile Security), Data Privacy & Protection, Security Management, Big Data Security and Cybercrime & Law Enforcement this year. We welcome all returning delegates, speakers, sponsors and supporters and we hope they will have another exciting time at CLOUDSEC this year," said Ken Low, Program Director of CLOUDSEC Summits and Chairman of Asia Pacific Executive Council at Cloud Security Alliance.

"VMware and Trend Micro have partnered to deliver the first agentless security solution designed for VMware® software-defined datacenters, desktops and cloud deployments. Together, VMware and Trend Micro take security to new levels and enable customers to increase consolidation rates, accelerate and complete their virtualization journey, more fully leverage their VMware investments, and maximize their ROI," said Toni Adams, Vice President - Partner & Alliance Marketing, VMware.

The Cloud is Here

CLOUDSEC2013 highlighted the need to boost customer confidence and urged industry leaders, end-users and industry bodies to come together as businesses move towards rapid deployments around the three key areas of Consumerization, Cloud and targeted Cyber Attacks.

1. Consumerization: Consumerization of IT and BYOD trends are fuelling demand for technologies that are more responsive and offer anytime, anywhere and any device access in a reliable, scalable and secure manner. The increasing exposure of information within rapidly-expanding IT infrastructures, application portfolios and cloud environments opens organizations up to new forms of security risk. Organizations will increasingly need to develop systems and solutions that mitigate these risks as well as be able to observe regulatory compliance for data protection.

2. Developing Cloud Security Guidelines: Highlighting on the need for guidelines, the industry leaders agreed that the need for guidelines would be the single most important factor responsible for ensuring success in the Cloud. Highlighting its commitment for the region, CSA and Trend Micro shared efforts working with governments, associations and businesses across the region. The duo have been instrumental in helping influence cloud security initiatives of governments in the US, Europe and Japan and are actively promoting and educating end-users on the best practices in cloud security.

3. Targeted Cyber Attacks: The sustainability of the Cloud platform will be based on the robustness of the network that supports it. In line with its commitment to further support the Cloud platform, Trend Micro announced the expansion of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, its cloud-based security infrastructure introduced in 2008.

The latest iteration of the Smart Protection Network incorporates advanced big data analytic capabilities that enable Trend Micro to identify new security threats across a broader range of data sources including Mobile app reputation (for mobile threats), vulnerability rules (for vulnerability and exploits), network inspection rules (for network communications), and in-the-cloud whitelisting (for minimizing false positives). These features along with the award winning SecureCloud and Deep Security solution provides businesses with robust data protection across public and private clouds and VMware vSphere virtual environments. The unique encryption with policy-based key management and unique server validation helps businesses easily secure sensitive data stored with leading cloud service providers keeping data private and helping companies meet regulatory compliance requirements across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
