ISLANDIA, N.Y., April 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA (Nasdaq: CA) today announced that three of its technology leaders will speak at the 5th International Cloud Expo being held April 19–21 at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. All are presenting on Monday, April 19.

In a session entitled "Ten Security Questions to ask before Moving to the Cloud," Tim Brown, CA chief security architect and distinguished engineer, will explain how business demand will drive cloud adoption – just as it drove mainframe, client/server and Web applications – despite security concerns. Brown will highlight a list of security-related questions that organizations should consider before moving to the cloud.

In a session entitled "Cloud Computing Everywhere: How Are We Going to Manage All of This?" Barry Lynn, CA executive advisor and former CEO at 3Tera, will discuss how the management of IT in the cloud must evolve for this model to become pervasive among enterprises.

In a session entitled "Making Sense of Cloud Service Management," Mark Rivington, vice president of technology for the Nimsoft business unit at CA, will characterize the shift in management responsibility that comes with the adoption of any of the predominant cloud computing service types—Infrastructure as a Service, Software as a Service, and Platform as a Service. He will discuss best practices used by early adopters to monitor services delivered in cloud computing deployments. Rivington will also participate on the CTO Power Panel—"Has Enterprise IT Changed Forever and for Always," on Tuesday, April 20.

Brown also will speak at the Business Software Alliance Cybersecurity Forums in Brussels, Belgium, and Washington, D.C. on April 13 and 29 respectively. He will participate in panels discussing "Security and Cloud Computing" and "Identity Management and Other Solutions to Online Security: Is an Open Internet Compatible with User Trust, Security and Privacy?"
