| | | | March 2016 |  | | Microsoft Security Newsletter | | | | | | | | | | Spring is here, and so is March's Security Newsletter! | I spoke at the Cloud Security Alliance Summit held in San Francisco a few weeks ago and had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion on cloud security, and to discuss lessons learned from a cloud services provider's point of view. The panel was moderated by Robert Herjavec, CEO of the Herjavec Group and star of ABC's Shark Tank. Robert was a gracious and fun moderator to work with; I survived the panel without a shark bite!
The next day, Brad Smith, Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer, delivered a keynote at the RSA Conference on "Trust in the Cloud in Tumultuous Times". There were several Microsoft sessions throughout the week at the conference, including SaaS Attacks Happen: How Cloud Scale Changes the Security Game and Mark Russinovich's Machine Learning and the Cloud: Disrupting Threat Detection and Prevention.
The theme of this month's newsletter is enterprise mobility – a topic that I know so many CIOs and CISOs are interested in. Brad Anderson, Corporate Vice President, Enterprise and Client Mobility has been blogging a lot on this topic and I always learn something from him. I recommend checking out his In the Cloud blog and the resources featured in this month's newsletter for tips on security, mobile device management, and more.
