Cloud Computing Centralization Enhances Security
When discussing IT security, topics such as firewalls, anti-x software, and perimeter defense all come up. One topic which is often overlooked is physical security. A company can have the very best network security in the world, but somone desirous of your data can walk away with it via access to a console, or worse, physically stealing the servers, computers, laptops, and/or storage units that the data is contained on. One need not look very far for multiple examples of exactly this sort of data breach.
By centralizing servers and desktops within the Cloud, this risk is mitigated. Never again will an unauthorized person gain access to your server consoles, and never again will a lost or stolen laptop present a risk of security breach.
