As cloud computing continues to generate interest in broader communities, this writer from the London Financial Times (Winning with the cloud - registration required) hits on one of the issues which I believe will accelerate the transition to cloud computing environments; your data may actually be safer in a cloud environment. He says:
Software security should always be a concern when discussing critical business data, wherever it’s kept. In many ways, cloud computing can be more secure than hosting data in-house. For example, it generally takes 30-60 days for businesses to patch vulnerability in their own computer systems. During that time, the corporation’s IT infrastructure is at risk. With the scale of cloud computing, everything can be fixed quickly and ensure the infrastructure is safe.
Here at BlueLock we’re working with two of our security partners ISS/IBM and Shavlik to continuously improve the methods we use to secure each of our individual client’s cloud environments and taking a holistic approach to securing our entire cloud more efficiently and effectively.
