Why Cloud Security Matters

published: October 9th, 2008

I asked on LinkedIn what security professionals think about Cloud Security. The answer was as expected. Nobody really knew what I was talking about. How cloud security is any different from web security?

Cloud security is different because the rules of the game are totally different. The recourses involved are totally different. Money is not an issue. I believe that anyone can afford $0.15 per month for 1TB of storage. Networking capabilities are not an issue. The cloud can be as big and as small as we want it to be. Visualizations and utility computing are the norm.

In such a vivid and complex field, vision is what is most important. I will leave it up to you to decide what is cloud security and why it matters. If you are the sharing type of a person, drop your comments bellow.
