Practical Approaches to Cloud Security
Cloud computing presents IT with different risks than on-premises computing. Computer World's latest report takes a look at security in the cloud and discusses several security mistakes that vendors commonly make.
"In the cloud, I can set up layers upon layers of security, but the root cannot be within the cloud itself. Or by example, to trust the cloud, I have to pocket the key -- I cannot leave it under the doormat. This makes cloud security especially difficult. A simple example is SSL security. If I want to protect the data transported between the cloud and users, I could install an SSL certificate on the cloud server. But if the SSL certificate is on the server's files ystem, what would stop someone from stealing it? So now I have to encrypt the SSL certificate's private key.
