S2E03: Safe and Sound

S2E03: Safe and Sound The news, media, and entertainment industry is on a journey to the cloud, but if your media and applications are hosted in the cloud and not in your physical building, what are the implications for content security? In this episode, we discuss in depth the challenges of security in the cloud and pose the question that, in reality it may actually be more secure than what you have on-premises. Our Guest This Episode Joel Sloss is the Senior Program Manager for the Cloud platform Microsoft Azure. For the last 25 years, Joel has been on the razor’s edge of enterprise IT and security. He originally joined Microsoft in 1997 after having served as a Technical Editor for Windows NT Magazine, where he authored more than 100 articles and product reviews, contributed to several books, and annoyed many hardware and software vendors. While at Microsoft, Joel has managed product lines ranging from BackOffice to ISA Server, mobile services, and—more recently—security & compliance initiatives in the Azure engineering team. Also during this time, Joel wrote numerous white papers on topics such as data protection, network security, secure management, architecture fundamentals, and policies and processes. His focus now is on the Digital Media & Entertainment industry, its compliance objectives (such as security certifications), and privacy needs in the public cloud. Joel has been on the CDSA Board of Directors since 2016, was the [cloud] Technical Advisor for “Bobbleheads: The Movie” (2020, Universal Pictures), and is a frequent presenter at industry conferences.
