And, to paraphrase what you wrote earlier, some/many of those companies are beyond our auditing. -- -Craig

Thanks Craig, I suppose with regards to the "cloud" my reference was more to indicate the use of a publicly available service. See ZaKat's post earlier regarding the ability to audit the host company. It does not mean that the host company is any less secure than a private cloud, just that you have no way of knowing for sure. -- HK

Point taken. That's one of the reasons that, in looking at freeware, I'm interested in cloudish things which I can deploy on my own servers that can mimic the box.nets, etc. It cuts down on the length of the process that would need to be audited. thx, -- -Craig |
