Cloud computing has become the recent hot topic set to revolutionize data management by replacing isolated servers with servers that can be shared by everybody on the internet. It’s like electricity you do not generate your own electricity rather you hook up to the national grid. This blog for example uses cloud technology via Google blogs.
But how secure are clouds given that anybody can hook up to this resource? Pennsylvania State University urges people to be sensible, only sharing information that you don’t mind if other people obtain, and not storing any private information within clouds. Yet some people consider cloud technology being more secure than traditional methods, e.g. email, courier. After all, can you be sure no one at the mail centre reads your private correspondence?
Is this security fear of cloud technology just fear of new technology??
