How Cloud Computing is Forcing Us to Rethink Data Security

Traditional IT security models focus on building a secure perimeter around corporate infrastructure. This is akin to the classic fortress mentality of putting up walls and surrounding those walls with additional defenses. If anything gets inside the walls, all bets are off. HP Enterprise & Cloud Security Strategist, Rafal Los, argues that this model is flawed and should be changed with or without cloud computing. Cloud computing amplifies the issue, because the concept of boundraies has changed, necessitating the switch to role-based security. One key area where this change needs to happen is in rethinking application development with a focus on authorization to access data, rather than simply authenticating access to data. LockerGnome's Jake Ludington has an interesting coversation with Rafal about cloud security, what's the same, what's different, and what some best practice scenarios involve in planning for security in the cloud.

I like the video.  Anyone who disagrees that virtualization is constantly growing and Growing and GROWING (especially with IPv6 gaining more and more momentum) is just fooling themselves...

Logically, security becomes increasingly important!

Cloud Computing is still going to be limited to smaller scale for consumers as internet speed/cost is just not good enough, at least in the United States. Most larger companies probably never going to trust their intellectual property / designs to the cloud and will keep that locally on site.

I people end up with a shitty less powerful computer, close to a dumb terminal which cant do,anything with out the cloud network, fuck it, I look at this as an old school idea, redone, and.dont care for it much, I can see maybe backing something up and storing it on their network but very will encrypted, just in case they pull a facebook were you have less and less privacy over time. Fuck this new old school idea! Go use the cloud to work on something in an app not on your phone. lol

Hahah that was 1 dumb comment. It's Lockergnome get use to it.

Cloud to me means 3rd party...dont trust anyone lol
