How secure is the cloud?

The cloud is our friend.  There will always be a resistance to change from those business and individuals and businesses that clearly have a stake in the past. They will constantly remind us that it is always unsafe to move away from proven technologies no matter what the benefits are. The thing that you have to remind yourself is that innovation requires taking some degree of risk and to mitigate the risk with good practices.  Security of your data seems to be one of the big areas of concern when the cloud is used for anything.  Not to be taken lightly but there are good basic procedures that can insure adequate security. So is all the worry worth it or are there really unsubstantiated fears trying to keep us where we are?


Here are some considerations:
  1. The benefits for business out weigh the risk
  2. Software functionality can provide a better user experience, enhance marketing, or reduce server/Internet processing requirements and improve the business significantly 
  3. Web 2.0 weaknesses are not really all that different from Web weaknesses of the past and can be mitigated through good management.
