Title: "Challenges and Opportunities for Virtualized Security in the
Clouds"

Abstract:
"The virtualization technologies that underly the cloud computing
infrastructures pose challenges on enforcing security policy when we
have a sense of ambiguity concerning the actual physical properties
of the resources. On the other hand, the virtual machine managers
provide us with better sandboxing, detailed monitoring capabilities
and fine-grained access control on the resource usage. As we expect
the whole world to virtualize over the next 5-10 years, the
presentation will present a forward-looking view on the cloudy road
ahead with a focus on the associated security topics."
