|
Answer» Not sure if I posted this in correct category. I was wondering what type of security works best for cloud technology? Not sure if I worded that corretly.To begin with, the act of USING some company's server compromises your privacy. Instances such as the secret NSA program, working with AT&T, and Verizon, which recorded over 10 million phone calls between American citizens, causes uncertainty among privacy ADVOCATES, and the greater powers it gives to telecommunication companies to monitor user activity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing#Privacy Cloud computing is just a flowery term for remote access. You can set up your own personal cloud with free virtualization software on the internet any day, provided you have the hardware resources. If you want to KNOW about some common PROTOCOLS used: http://www.techexams.net/technotes/networkplus/ras_sec_prot.shtmlCould you explain cloud technology, in a way a novice would understand? I understand "the act of using some company's server compromises your privacy", would compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the information being store??Oh... I was under the impression you were wanting to set up a cloud server for your organization. http://webtrends.about.com/od/enterprise20/a/cloud-computing.htm http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/cloud-computing These two websites define cloud computing in a concise way. I understand "the act of using some company's server compromises your privacy", would compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the information being store?? Well, one could argue that the act of simply being connected to the Internet compromises your privacy and therefore the integrity of your information in your computer... because you never know exactly who's controlling your data flow. But for now, let's stick to the basics of cloud computing. I am digressing here.2 great articles, thank you Transfusion. I have just started studying IT, computers, security & cloud computing. Hopefully, I will be able to go back to college soon. Any other articles you suggest?? http://computer.howstuffworks.com/cloud-computing/cloud-computing.htm http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/what-cloud-computing-really-means-031 http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Benefits-of-Cloud-Computing-VS-Self-Hosted-Solutions&id=6583385Transfusion, again thank you for the articles. Have only got through one but will read the others tomorrow. I would like to get as much information on cloud computing as I can. Trying to see which area of computers I would like to focus on when I START school. Enjoy security but want to learn more about cloud and cloud security. |
