LOS ANGELES, April 21, 2010 --Lieberman Software Corporation, the enterprise leader in privileged identity management, will host an online discussion about the challenges of maintaining security and compliance in cloud environments. While organizations are increasingly turning to cloud services as a way to cut operational costs, the migration creates new concerns about data security and regulatory compliance and introduces new elements of business risk for both customers and service providers.

“Telecommunications and cloud service providers must meet their customers half way if they expect their solutions to emerge as viable alternatives to the traditional enterprise model”

On Thursday, April 29, at 2:00 p.m. ET/11:00 a.m. PT, Field and Wave Solutions Cloud Computing Strategist Steve Staso and Lieberman Software CEO Phil Lieberman will discuss these concerns and review emerging technologies that are designed to preserve security and compliance.

“Two issues have emerged with the rise of cloud computing,” stated Philip Lieberman, founder and CEO of Lieberman Software. “One the one hand, the introduction of cloud-compatible security technologies lags significantly behind today’s business migration – leaving many cloud customers more exposed than they may realize. On the other hand cloud service providers have failed to provide adequate transparency and accountability to their customers into their security measures.”

“Telecommunications and cloud service providers must meet their customers half way if they expect their solutions to emerge as viable alternatives to the traditional enterprise model,” said Steve Staso, cloud computing strategist for Field and Wave Solutions. “The potential benefits of cloud computing are huge, and as soon as providers meet customers with a level of transparency, they will open the doors to increased business.”

Webinar attendees will discover ways to:

    * Enhance the security of existing cloud computing services and gain market share;
    * Eliminate barriers of adoption by clearly defining certain security practices;
    * Scale, enforce and audit the management of passwords for privileged user accounts of infrastructure components (e.g., servers, routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, etc.)
