computing security issues are inevitable but also solvable, according to a panel of cryptographers at the 2009 RSA Conference. Over time, security researchers will develop better ways to protect sensitive data in the cloud, according to SearchSecurity.com.
The Cloud Security Alliance was developed for this purpose and will be releasing a research paper that outlines more than a dozen security issues that should be addressed.
Industry observers note that companies are still turning to cloud computing to cut costs and aren't too worried about security threats. Gartner Inc. estimates that by 2011, early technology adopters will purchase 40% of their IT infrastructure as a service.
