National Cybersecurity = Cloud Computing Security

Image
A recent article Inc.com article claimed that the percentage of U.S. small businesses using cloud computing is expected to more than double during the next six years, from 37 percent to nearly 80 percent ( http://www.inc.com/graham-winfrey/why-the-cloud-will-transform-small-business-by-2020.html ). This forecast was gleaned from a just released Emergent Research and Intuit study. This statement is also very scary in that it also highlights the growing importance of the cybersecurity threat to the nation’s economic livelihood. Jeremy Grant, an adviser at the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology, says in the past two years he has seen "a relatively sharp increase in hackers and adversaries targeting small businesses." According to Symantec, cyberattacks on small businesses rose 300 percent in 2012 from the previous year ( http://www.inc.com/jana-kasperkevic/cyber-spies-target-small-businesses.html ). According to the Small Business ...

Cloud Computing + Things = "Information Excellence", Not IoT

Image
The Internet of Things (IoT) has quickly become the next “be all to end all” in information technology. Touted as how cloud computing will connect everyday things together, it is also feared as the real- life instantiation of The Terminator’s Skynet , where sentient robots team with an omnipresent and all-knowing entity that uses technology to control, and ultimately destroy, all of humanity. Not there yet Lucky for the humans among us, the technical capabilities of both cloud computing and IoT are way behind these Orwellian fears. Although the technology is promising, research and technical hurdles still abound. Challenges include: Datasets that span multiple continents and are independently managed by hundreds of suppliers and distributors; Volume and velocity of IoT dataflows exceed the capacity ad capability of any single centralized datacenter; Current inability to conduct “Big IoT” data processing across multiple distributed datacenters due to technical issues related ...
