Cloud Computing Security

Cloud Computing Security is one of the most important issues to be considered by potential Cloud customers and Cloud Vision will be featuring news and white papers on the subject. We will also be showcasing upcoming Cloud Computing Security Events from around the world.

“At the heart of cloud infrastructure is this idea of multi-tenancy and decoupling between specific hardware resources and applications,” explains Datamonitor senior analyst Vuk Trifković. “In the jungle of multi-tenant data, you need to trust the cloud provider that your information will not be exposed.”

A recent report conducted jointly by EMC’s RSA security division and IDG Research Services interviewed 100 security executives at companies with revenues of £1 billion or more. Of these executives, close to half said they either have enterprise applications or business processes running in the cloud or will begin migration in the next year. At the same time, two-thirds don’t have a security strategy for cloud computing, a worrying statistic for those with such a significant revenue amount.
