More about clouds...it is an interesting topic

There is one thing about cloud computing that has to be said: you have to compare your existing security level with the cloud alternative. I have seen many examples of companies that have been over-confident about their security. For companies that does not have enough competence or resources cloud computing can actually increase the security level. Be realistic even if it hurts.
lA big problem that many organizations are facing is that of compliance with various regulations. Being compliant can imply a load new IT projects and forming your house in-house system into compliance can be costly.
Instead, Compliance as a Service may be offered where the service provider takes care of every requirement around the application. And the fundamental security functions such as separation, access control, authorization, end point security etc, may now be seen as selling factors
