Dark Clouds

in my earlier post i had commented on rise of Google as positioned vis a vis Microsoft. Google CEO was then bullish about Cloud computing be the next thing which will change technological landscape. Ofcourse Google is still on track with launch of O/s to take MS head on. Ms has laughed off Google O/s. Google is unstoppable. But Clouds are yet to rain. The biggest threat of security concerns were laid bare by various attacks and data thefts on Twitter . Though proponets of cloud have mentioned this as exception and have blamed twitter for lack of process. It has again laid focus on best security practices. It also has created privacy issues like corporates having access to this information. Can you imagine Google as Big brother knowing more details about you than you yourselves do. And human mind is very susceptible to greed and ambition that has manifested into greatest scams and global phenomenons like depression currently we are facing. So has cloud answered these anamoloies. Can the security systems be robust enough . Ultimately everything turns to a password. In real world you have keys to secure your valuables. But effort has to be made to break the lock, enter the premises unnoticed, manage security guards, get out with the loot unnocticed and then get absonced to avoid detection, have network to sell the valuables and remain untraced..
In online cloud world its just you need to crack the password.
Scary , not that. We still can have processes to manage the threat. But issues still unanswered.
Interesting times ahead
