VMworld 2015: Doing Work Safely in the Cloud

As cloud computing has moved from theoretical discussions to real-world implementations, questions and debates remain about how to best secure data in the cloud. This is especially a sticking point as data is increasingly moving across public, private and hybrid cloud environments. We spoke with experts and IT leaders at VMworld to get their take on how IT can best operate in the cloud with security in mind.
