Chris Weber, Managing Partner and Robert Mooney, Senior Software Development, Casaba, speak about applying Microsoft SDL Requirements security practices to applications built on top of Windows Azure, focusing on the “Requirements” phase. Chris and Robert stress the similarities of Windows Azure applications to regular web applications, explaining that you won’t be operating in an entirely new environment, talk about decreased need to focus on infrastructure and platform and increased focus on securing the application layer. The presenters explain the similarities and differences in planning for security and privacy when deploying to Windows Azure, and explain how to map the existing and new risks to the cloud-based environment.
