NIST has published a working draft of the Cloud Computing Security presentation:
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/index.html
Both of the documents on this page are excellent read for anyone
interested in Cloud Computing.
Some of the Security Advantages mentioned in the presentation are:
Shifting public data to a external cloud reduces the exposure of the
internal sensitive data
Cloud homogeneity makes security auditing/testing simpler
Clouds enable automated security management
Redundancy / Disaster Recovery
Data Fragmentation and Dispersal
Dedicated Security Team
Greater Investment in Security Infrastructure
Fault Tolerance and Reliability
Greater Resiliency
Hypervisor Protection Against Network Attacks
Possible Reduction of C&A Activities (Access to Pre-Accredited Clouds)
Simplification of Compliance Analysis
Data Held by Unbiased Party (cloud vendor assertion)
Low-Cost Disaster Recovery and Data Storage Solutions
On-Demand Security Controls
Real-Time Detection of System Tampering
Rapid Re-Constitution of Services
Advanced Honeynet Capabilities
What are your thoughts on these benefits?
Thanks
