Is Cloud computing getting safer?
July 13th, 2010
One of the major players in cloud computing – Amazon, are SAS 70 compliant. A small step forward towards safer environments as many commented but I see it as an important move – well done Amazon! As I stated in previous articles, cloud computing has to proof that that it is getting safer and safer. Ernst & Young carried out Amazon’s SAS 70 Type II audit, quite an assurance that the job was done to high standards. This means that remote online backup providers that use Amazon as their backend have one important layer SAS 70 certified, however, the backup service provider remains responsible and should implement the necessary security measure to protect their customers’ data.
