Security?

Lost laptops are a billion dollar business problem. And potentially greater than the loss of an expensive piece of kit is the loss of the sensitive data inside it. Cloud computing gives you greater security when this happens. Because your data is stored in the cloud, you can access it no matter what happens to your machine. And you can even remotely wipe data from lost laptops so it doesnt get into the wrong hands.

At the end of the day.

Cloud Customer is always responsible for GRC and Data

Cloud Services offer many advertised cost benefits

Risk is present in many forms throughout Cloud models

Information Security Professionals must be involved to voice the risk

Senior Managers weigh the cost benefits vs the risk and make the decision based on risk appetite.
