Abstract
Depending on who you ask, Cloud Computing was either something that emerged as a paradigm shift about a decade ago, or alternatively it is just the last in a long line of incremental developments in how we have been doing computing since the 1950-ies. Be that as it may, it is nonetheless clear that the cloud is not in your basement; if you are using cloud computing, your data is being processed and stored on somebody else's computer. Cloud computing is increasingly being used not only to support critical infrastructure applications, but actually forms a vital part of them. This talk will delve into different aspects of cloud computing for critical infrastructures and outline some security requirements that are relevant to apply to critical infrastructure cloud applications.
