Encryption Built on the Cloud | WIRED Brand Lab

Produced by WIRED Brand Lab with AWS | Data security is top priority when building a product in its early stages, but not all software developers have expertise in it. The team at Evervault sought a solution and used AWS' Nitro Enclaves to create it. The result of this collaboration is Evervault Encryption Engine - or E3 - which provides highly constrained compute environments where sensitive data can be securely decrypted and processed. Since AWS and Nitro Enclaves are globally available on demand, Evervault easily provides affordable and secure encryption tools to developers everywhere, allowing for all software developers to ensure data security.

Think your apps are secure in the cloud?

The cloud is not secure. Developers know through experience that software and servers get hacked thanks to bad code and insecure Internet connections to remote servers and data centers. You can compare using the cloud to having valuables that are locked up in a suitcase in a parking lot. By nature, both are susceptible to attacks. In this article, we explain the reasons why the cloud is not secure, but we also examine ways to mitigate any insecurities by illustrating some Django examples through the inception of BugHeist.

How do you adapt analysis tools and protocols to access and analyze that volume of data in the cloud? With this practical book, researchers will learn how to work with genomics algorithms using open source tools including the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK), Docker, WDL, and Terra.

Moving to the Cloud: How the Public Sector Can Leverage the Power of Cloud Computing

Register for the Event

The U.S. government spends billions of dollars each year on computer hardware, software and file servers that may no longer be necessary. Currently, the public sector makes relatively little use of cloud computing, even though studies suggest substantial government savings from a migration to more Internet-based computing with shared resources.

On July 21, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings hosted a policy forum on steps to enhance public sector adoption of cloud computing innovations. Brookings Vice President Darrell West moderated a panel of experts, including David McClure of the General Services Administration, Dawn Leaf of the National Institute for Standards and Technology, and Katie Ratte of the Federal Trade Commission. West released a paper detailing the policy changes required to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of federal computing.

Privacy and Security in the Cloud Computing Age


Event Information

October 26, 2010
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM EDT

Falk Auditorium
The Brookings Institution
1775 Massachusetts Ave., NW
Washington, DC

Register for the Event

Although research suggests that considerable efficiencies can be gained from cloud computing technology, concerns over privacy and security continue to deter government and private-sector firms from migrating to the cloud. By its very nature, storing information or accessing services through remote providers would seem to raise the level of privacy and security risks. But is such apprehension warranted? What are the real security threats posed to individuals, business and government by cloud computing technologies? Do the cost-saving benefits outweigh the dangers?

On October 26, the Brookings Institution hosted a policy forum on the privacy and security challenges raised by cloud computing. Governance Studies Director Darrell West moderated a panel of technology industry experts examining how cloud computing systems can generate innovation and cost savings without sacrificing privacy and security. West will also present findings from his forthcoming paper “Privacy, Security, and Innovation in Cloud Computing.”

After the program, panelists took audience questions.
