Last Day Gartner Symposium: Privacy in the Cloud (and Other Fairy Tales)
It’s my last day at the Gartner Symposium ITxpo 2011 and I thought I’d leave you with a few quotes and slides from the session Privacy in the Cloud (and Other Fairy Tales) presented by Carsten Casper, Research Director at Gartner that I found of particular interest.
Cloud computing is the way of working these days. And while some organisations are still yet to adopt it, one of the main concerns is the risk of exposure. Carsten said:
Many organisations are using externally provisioned services without a full understanding of the risks. Other organizations are avoiding profitable new lines of business because they are overestimating the relative.
…Cloud computing is a different model than other alternative delivery models. The same characteristics that make it uniquely appealing and economical raise unique control and risk issues that cannot always be resolved today.
