Cloud computing is collaboration without the constraint of the firewall. It’s frictionless communication ala Twitter. Cloud computing is start-up experimentation at extremely low cost. First and fore-most an organization will need to determine the degree of trust it wants to place on a cloud provider. Will the cloud provider run the latest anti-virus software definitions? Do their routers and firewalls stand up to an onslaught of denial of service attack and network intrusions. Are the personnel given just the right administrative privileges and actions logged and audited?
CIO and CISO’s will have to grapple with the age old dilemma of access versus accessibility.
