Cloud computing industry could lose on NSA security concerns

Somehow I find it fascinating that people can still spread the rumor that putting data in the cloud somehow makes that data insecure. Strangely enough, the only people propagating these false rumors are those who do not understand technology and still have not grasped what a network is. I try to educate these Luddites that the only way to keep data 100% secure is to lock it up in your house. This data could be on a server, but the server must not be on any network wired or Wifi. Most people think that if the data is in their four walls it is certainly secure, but fail to see that as soon as they hook up a simple connection to the Internet it is accessible by thousands.
But people fail to see that and do not understand that a good cloud provider would have security tools that will dwarf whatever they have put on their firewall and if they really want data to be in secure hands, choose a serious cloud provider.
This goes against our human nature thinking, which has been blown by invention of the transistor about 40 years ago.

Absolutely agree with Tim's voice on cloud computing.
ReplyDeleteInfact, Cloud computing is an effective tool to combat the challenge of growing data security concerns. But, there is a need to create the right awareness and knowledge transfer among healthcare providers and payers in order to well penetrate this market.
However, the healthcare cloud computing market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 20.5%.
