The PDF transcript from our Focus roundtable discussion on FISMA for cloud environments is now available.

In this roundtable teleconference, Focus Experts discussed cloud computing as it relates to government agencies.

Topics included:

• What are the factors that would influence a government organization’s decision to use the cloud services of another agency versus those of a private sector service?
• What kinds of issues should cloud service providers be prepared to deal with when providing services to government entities?
• Other than security, what other barriers to entry exist for government cloud adoption?
• Do recent security incidents help or hurt the case for government cloud computing?
• Are cloud providers ready to achieve government requirements?
• Can NIST recommendations alone achieve a sufficient level of cloud security?
• Is FISMA workable in the cloud, or is it time for a restart?
