Cloud Computing: Who's watching your back?

Keywords: security, business continuity, disaster recovery
Authors: Ron LaPedis, Seacliff Partners International, LLC.
Abstract: Cloud computing is all the rage, with Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3), Agathon Group, ElasticHosts, and dozens of other providers available to you. Amazon S3 was down for nearly 8 hours on July 20, 2008, Gmail has suffered multiple outages of up to 2 1/2 hours affecting more than 113 million users, Ma.gnolia bookmarking service suffered a database failure, and Carbonite lost data belonging to 7,500 customers. Most recently, thousands of T-Mobile Sidekick users lost access to their cloud-based data for several weeks.

Would an outage of any length affect your company?

Do you have a business continuity plan should your hosted applications or data go offline, become corrupted, or destroyed?

And who really owns your data in the cloud and who is responsible for protecting it from theft or alteration?
