Please take a look at Bruce’s evaluation of the threat…<\/p>\n
Schneier on Security: Terrorist Risk of Cloud Computing<\/a>: “Terrorist Risk of Cloud Computing”<\/p>\n But in my opinion, there is a risk, but only due to two reasons:<\/p>\n 1) Poor design & management of the cloud servers. They would be at risk, only if they did not properly have a secondary site, along with off site backups.<\/p>\n 2) Poor design & management of the data center. I can foresee the potential for having large data centers, but once again, if those servers in the data centers are not backed up offsite, and have offsite roll-over servers then they are vulnerable to be taken “out”.<\/p>\n Overall, a properly managed company would have this figured up with their disaster recovery plans. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bruce Schneier has an compelling piece up today, debunking a piece in “Dark Reading” regarding the potential for a terrorist attack on “cloud servers”.
