About the blog:
This blog is dedicated to Cloud Computing and Security.
Cloud Computing is a nebulous term covering an array of technologies and services including; Grid Computing, Utility Computing, Software as a Service (SaaS), Storage in the Cloud and Virtualization. There is no shortage of buzzwords and definitions differ depending on who you talk to.
The common theme is that computing takes place ‘in the cloud’, typically outside of your organisations network.
Semantics aside, there is a much bigger question: what does it all mean from an IT security perspective? What is Cloud Computing Security? What are the risks, threats and countermeasures? How do we ’secure the Cloud’. And when things go wrong - when threats become realised - how should we respond?
If you are curious about Cloud Computing Security or you are already grappling with these questions, this blog is for you.
