Amazon Web Services is teaming with RightScale and HyperStratus to deliver a webinar on cloud security. In survey after survey, and just about everywhere I travel, potential cloud computing users mention security as their number one concern. This webinar presents a set of best practices to ensure security for applications running in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment using the RightScale management platform with HyperStratus application integration.

Come and learn application security best practices from Bernard Golden, CEO of HyperStratus; Michael Crandell, CEO of RightScale; and yours truly (Steve Riley), Sr. Technical Program Manager at Amazon Web Services. Topics include:

• The three crucial layers of security in a cloud computing environment
• How Amazon Web Services ensures a secure infrastructure throughout its cloud computing environment
• How RightScale implements a management and monitoring framework to ensure consistent application of security policies throughout an application deployment
• Best practices from HyperStratus that integrate applications with the infrastructure and monitoring framework to ensure the highest possible level of application security
• How to address the five key areas of application security configuration to prevent unauthorized access and poor data security in cloud environments

I met with the principals on Full360 on my last trip to New York. They shared some of their success stories with me (some of them enabled by AWS) and we talked about how the cloud is changing the way that the BI (Business Intelligence) space is changing.

Full360, Jaspersoft, Vertica, RightScale, and Talend will be putting on a webinar at 8 AM ET on May 4th. The webinar will discuss the concept of the agile data warehouse — a new type of product made possible by the convergence of cloud computing and a new class of software.

During the webinar, they'll talk about how they built a data warehouse for giveatweet.com in just two weeks using Jaspersoft's business intelligence software, Vertica's ultra-fast analytic database, RightScale's management tools, and Talend's open source data integration, all running on AWS.

On February 4, RightScale, Full360, Jaspersoft, Talend, and Vertica will team up to discuss a new approach to BI (Business Intelligence) that takes advantage of the flexibility and lower cost of cloud computing, an approach that provides users with the information they need, in the form they need it, at the time they need it to make sound business decisions.

Attendees at this free webinar will see how to create a datamart in three weeks from five
different data sources. The datamart will scale from three
administrative users to 500 data consumers at four peak periods during
the month. Read more about cloud-based business intelligence here and here.

The webinar will take place at 8 AM PT and you should register now.
