For the Chapter 8 blog post, read the Interactive session on pages 321-322, How Secure is the Cloud. In a detailed response, answer questions 1-4 on page 322.
1. It is almost impossible to track unauthorized activity when using cloud computing. Another problem is that it is distributed all over the world. Cloud computing does not run 24/7, therefore some companies are denied access to important data and applications.
2. First to blame for cloud computing problems would be the electric companies. Due to power outages across the world, many people could not access their sites for business or personal information. Even the applicants have too many contracts that indirectly limit a customers data usage.
3. Cloud computing is not secure at all. It uses data centers across the world to accomplish work efficiently. The only problem is that the original customers does not know who is in possession of their data or even which country or continent that data is currently in.
4. I would first like to know where my data could be recovered from if I ever needed to do so. I would have to do research on that location before trusting them with sensetive data.
Good info.
