Cloud Security (A Comprehensive Guide to Secure Cloud Computing)

Аннотация

In today’s world, the physical security metaphor continues to deteriorate. We’ve all seen a movie or TV show where some critical piece of data becomes key to the plot. The location of the next terrorist attack is kept on a single USB that is subject to theft, deterioration, or any other number of physical ills designed to increase the drama. That is simply not the nature of data. Data is viral. Where did this data come from? It was never on a hard drive? No one ever emailed anybody about the attack? Can’t somebody plug the damn key in and make a YouTube video about it so that everyone can see it? This book serves as a guide for doing just that. As security professionals, we may not want to embrace the cloud, but we’re certainly going to have to learn to live with it.
