That was a quote from Barry Briggs, CTO for Microsoft’s internal IT department, from the article at http://www.techflash.com/seattle/2010/05/microsoft_cto_cloud_computiing_an_inevitable_tidal_wave.html. In the article Mr. Barry was asked what he thought might slow down the growth or adoption of clouds and he brought up the topic of cloud security and some of the security question marks around this topic. If you ever wondered what those security questions are check out the PDF here http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/rm/files/deliverables/cloud-computing-risk-assessment.
I read this while developing our secure online file transfer and storage platform called LOCKBOX and the assessment section was very good, especially for people who are in the process of creating a cloud adoption strategy or just determining if they should at all. Enjoy,
