The Dangers Of Cloud Computing, InfoWorld
 









Excerpts: On-demand apps and services have several security risks that IT should
address up front  (...) security risks, including perils related to compliance,
availability, and data integrity.  Yet many companies don't think through those
risks upfront. For example, having proper failover technology in place is a
component of securing the cloud that is often overlooked, notes Josh Greenbaum,
principal at Enterprise Applications Consulting. Yet these same companies make
sure they have failover for established services, like electricity. "If you look
around, go to any major facility, what is sitting in a box outside is an
alternative power supply. They don't rely on just the grid," says Greenbaum. He
argues that cloud computing should be no different.
