@eWEEKnews is hosting a special eWEEKChat event. The topic will be "Is Cloud Enough?" It will be moderated by Chris Preimesberger, editor, eWeek and will feature journalist and Microsoft software development expert Bradley Jones of QuinStreet's Internet.com.

The enterprise file-sharing leader, Egnyte, is sponsoring the event.

Join us for an informative Tweet Chat session on Cloud Not Enough and get all your questions answered around cloud and security. We will have industry experts from cloud vendors, customers using cloud, security experts and product specialists doing a detailed discussion around:

• The Pros and Cons of cloud Vs. on-prem
• Best practices on incorporating cloud into your infrastructure
• Myths and truths about cloud security

Ever since cloud storage and services were named and went mainstream in 2006, the No. 1 issue at the top of every "impediment-to-sales" list has been security. Enterprises are -- and should be -- cautious about allowing their sensitive customer and business-process data to be stored by a third-party provider in a data center that could be on another continent.

We'd like to find out how you are using (or not using) the cloud, what strengths/weaknesses in security you see, and what new features you'd like to see made available in the coming months and years.

With this in mind, you are invited to join your fellow tech professionals for a special eWEEKchat discussion on cloud storage and application security. If you are using the cloud, come share your knowledge with us. If you aren't yet in the cloud, here is a chance to see what others are saying and ask your own questions.

We will pose questions such as:

• What are the benefits/reasons you expect from leveraging cloud storage and/or services?
• Have you had a security breach in the cloud, and how did you handle it?
• What are the workloads/scenarios/features/services you are most interested in running in the cloud?
• What were the most important factors you considered when making your decision to move to the cloud?
• Why did you choose your cloud vs. other cloud providers?
• If you are not in the cloud now, has security been the issue that has kept you away?
• What would you like security services in the cloud to offer in the future?

Plan to join us.
