Dear lotuseclat79,
Thanks for the article. Calce's comments on clouding will keep those security companies touting it as the next "big bang" into submissive silence. It's a taken that the guys like Calce are better geniuses than the ones we get to see and hear! Wow, "internet insecure"!

Recently I was asked to write about cloud computing for our CIO and other Suits, and the absolute first topic I mentioned was that the inherent nature of cloud computing itself is going to make securing the data an extremely interesting task.

I do a lot of work with my company's security personnel, and both they and I have been looking at various ways to get this secure as possible and still front a functioning network with relatively similar network speeds that our users are used to, and it's been a huge chore. Bottom line, right now, we are, and have been, running into some pretty good sized delays wrt to the standard hard wired gig-e network.

As is to be expected.

Glad it's still a bit off, as we've been working on this for 20 months or so, and while great strides have indeed been made, to maintain a relatively fast environment AND the security of a truly wired network is beginning to drive me slightly bonkers.
