For decades we have feared the cloud. During my time working counterintelligence for the FBI, we feared the Internet so much that agency computers functioned solely on an isolated intranet connected via hard cables.
It’s no wonder to me that that government has still not embraced the unlimited processing power cloud computing affords. But despite the fact that utilisation of the cloud has become ubiquitous – we store our photos and memories, email accounts, business files and our very identities there – many companies fear the cloud: how can I control and secure my information if I give it to someone else?
