Cloud Computing and Cloud Services represent one of the most significant shifts in information technology likely for many of us to see in our lifetimes. Embracing virtualization services, your enterprise's computing requirements being provided as a utility has great potential, promising innovations we cannot yet imagine. With this great potential, however comes great responsibility. (Thanks Aunt May) For starters, let’s talk about privacy. Here are some tips for considering cloud computing with regard to privacy:
1. Pay attention to the cloud services provider’s user agreement – look for “right to use, disclose, distribute, etc”
2. Should you decide to extract your data – does the provider retain rights to your data?
3. Put your data to the litmus test – if you wouldn’t want the government or other legal body to see your data, maybe the cloud isn’t the best solution.
Go Cloud!
