New and Emerging Technologies

Cloud computing - National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

“the provision of computational resources on demand via a computer network’”

flexibility and scalability

Cloud Computing Advantages

security, privacy, availability and

continuity

Increased Risks

A more complete definition may include:

“cloud computing is the use of the Internet and virtualization concepts to create an environment in which individuals and organizations can place storage and processing capacity, supported with communications, into the Cloud and to which users can transmit, process and store information”.

Cloud computing also introduces privacy risks, Specifically, the Patriot Act which allows an American government agency to gain access to data residing on the cloud - without the cloud customer's knowledge.

Social Networks

“Facebook and Twitter represent the move towards a world where companies have the opportunity to gain closer connections with their customers.

“social networks leave behind “digital exhaust”, which "should be mined, providing a rich source of insight on market positioning, consumer sentiment and employee productivity“

Mobile devices, including tablets and smartphones, are representing a larger share of the computer market

More than half of computing devices sold globally will not be PCs

Non PC mobile devices ("smartphones, tablets and non-PC netbooks) will exceed the estimated 400 million PCs to be sold in 2011

Deloitte Canada 2011 TMT Predictions (Technology, Media, Telecommunications)

More than 25% of all tablet computers will be bought by enterprises".

Mobile Devices

RFID, proximity, embedded data gathering present risks included interception of communications

NFC (Near Field Communications) will reduce the risk

“Smartphone manufacturers (e.g. Google Nexus S manufactured by Samsung and the Blackberry Bold 9900/9930 manufactured by RIM) are including near field communication (NFC) technology within their devices”

“Intuit demonstrated at the 2011 Google I/O Developer Conference their GoPayment service, which uses NFC "to let consumers wirelessly pay for items on the go through just a touch of an NFC-enabled cell phone”
