Re: Clouds and Blue Skies
The "cloud" is simply a short hand way of saying "someone else's computer"
I was in a meeting where somebody who assumed the "cloud" was the magic solution to everything spoke. Another attendee then said "the cloud is just somebody else's computer permanently connected to the internet". This was a meeting about moving information that was currently secure on an air gapped network and on DVD/tape back up on and off site onto the cloud. The meeting ended with the outcome that having that info, encrypted or not potentially accessible by anyone via the internet wasn't going to happen.
