Dear Member,

Warm Greetings to you and your family.

I have great pleasure in inviting you to Conference on Cloud Computing: Opportunities and
Challenges for CAs on 08th November 2013 at Hotel Savera, Chennai. We have invited
leading IT experts to share their valuable experience and update members on the
developments taking place in the exciting world of cloud computing.

The Committee on Information Technology has been established by the Institute to identify
Information Technology challenges facing the profession and convert them into gainful
professional opportunities for members by conducting Conferences, Seminars, and Practical
Workshops, Training programmes, courses apart from Practice Guides, Training Aids,
Softwares and Publications on Information Technology for the benefit of members.






This Conference on "The Cloud Computing" presentation aims at sensitizing Auditors,
Security Professionals, and IT executives about the risks and mitigation strategies for an
effective cloud computing solution. The presentation will discuss more into audit and security
considerations in a cloud computing environment. Technology professionals can learn what
to expect from their auditors, and in turn, auditors can learn what areas to review in a cloud
environment. The presentation majorly focuses on covering the security and control
deficiencies that exist in cloud based services and Cloud Security Audit. In this presentation,
professionals will explore the current state of Cloud Computing, Deployment Architecture
and its characteristics, a well-knitted overview on Cloud Audit & Assessment approach ,
CSA Notorious Nine Cloud Computing Threats, Cloud Computing Risks and it's vectors,
