Cloud Reassurance

The Cloud Reassurance Project is an initiative to create shared understanding among private sector stakeholders of the systemic risks associated with deepening global dependence on cloud technology.

Cloud Governance

While global commerce and communications benefit greatly from the widespread use of cloud services, dependence on the cloud exposes individuals and organizations to new risks and exacerbates old ones. Carnegie’s Cloud Governance Project offers a holistic, first-of-its-kind framework for understanding and addressing a wide range of interrelated cloud policy issues.
