Ultimate Guide and List of Cloud Computing Security Companies, Vendors, Services, Issues and Solutions. Secure your Cloud. ‘Cloud security’ is a broad term referring to the many different security aspects of the cloud – which itself comes in many different forms, each having it own security implications and requirements. Like the cloud itself, cloud security is a relatively recent discipline which is constantly evolving to meet new challenges and demands. Cloud security encompasses all of the different elements of this broad ecosystem, including maintaining the security of data within the cloud itself and between end users and the cloud; ensuring the integrity of apps used to access the cloud and use its services; through to protection of the servers and other hardware that make up cloud infrastructure. Although users talk about ‘the cloud’, cloud computing comes in several different forms, each of which has its own specific strengths and weaknesses – both from business an

Microsoft’s Underwater Data Center... Microsoft has recently developed a data center in an extremely unusual place- the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Microsoft has recently unveiled Project Natick, an initiative to bring cloud computing infrastructure to cities that are closer to bodies of water such as the ocean. It is estimate that half of the world’s population lives within 200km of the ocean, so placement of data centers underwater can strategically improve efficiency and response. In 2015, Microsoft built a capsule filled with pressurized nitrogen that featured a single rack of servers and heat exchangers clamped to the hull in order to regulate the temperature inside. The capsule was submerged 30 feet underwater off of the California coast for 100 days. Such capsules could have their computing hardware replaced every five years; the lifespan of these capsules in 20 years. Microsoft aims to make these under water data centers self-sufficient by utilizing renewable energy t

Microsoft has recently announced its huge developments in the  cloud security  sector that will allegedly improve the security of online companies. Microsoft plans to unveil more at the RSA Conference, taking place from February 29 th  to March 4 th  in San Francisco. These new developments include Customer Lockbox, Microsoft Cloud App Security, Azure Active Directory Identity Protection, and Microsoft Operations Management Suite. Customer Lockbox: Lockbox helps Microsoft engineers achieve more transparency when they require access to Office 365 accounts to aid in troubleshooting. Lockbox aims to make the customer approval process more efficient. Lockbox is already available to those using Exchange Online. Microsoft Cloud App Security: This application provides both security and control over data stored in app clouds, including SalesForce and Office 365. This application comes after the addition of security broker Adallom to the cloud giant. Office 365 was also upgraded in conj

IBM Acquires Compose... IBM has recently announced that it has acquired Compose, a startup company that began in 2010, in order to continue expansion of its cloud services. Previously known as MongoHQ, it was the first database as a service which allows application developers to easily deploy and scale data store using with backups, monitoring, performance tuning as well as full suite of management tools. As said in an announcement, “Today we are excited to announce that Compose is joining IBM. As founders, it was the biggest and most important decision we’ve ever had to make – much more difficult than we ever would have guessed back when we only dreamed of having a successful company. While we are profitable and growing fast, we think now is the right time to team up with a larger company.” An IBM spokesperson has relayed that users will not be affected under this deal as Compose will continue business as usual. IBM is always looking for cloud companies to acquire in

A warning shot: Why cloud security remains more important than ever... With all the recent well-publicised hacking and malware attacks, not to mention numerous meteorological events that have affected companies around the globe over the last year, IT leaders are very aware of the need for robust cloud security and compliance. That said it is infact now easier for companies to engage in poor security practices because users do not have the same control over their cloud infrastructure that they have over their own on-premise infrastructure. Often, organisations using public cloud assume that their cloud provider is taking care of security and they may even have assurances of that from the provider. Yet usually, the customer has no visibility of the public cloud infrastructure they are using and little transparency with regard to security settings. For that reason, they are placing a lot of trust in the promise that the public cloud provider is addressing security when that may not

Education in Mobile Phone..... The field of  mobile learning  is still in its infancy, and so it is still difficult for experts to come up with a single definition of the concept. [78]  One definition of Mobile Learning or mLearning is provided by MoLeNet: "It is the exploitation of ubiquitous handheld technologies, together with wireless and mobile phone networks, to facilitate, support, enhance and extend the reach of teaching and learning". [79] Advancements in hardware and networking technologies made it possible for mobile devices and applications to be used in the field of education. [80]  Newer developments in mobile phone technology makes them more embedded, ubiquitous and networked, with enhanced capabilities for rich social interactions and internet connectivity. Such technologies can have a great impact on learning by providing a rich, collaborative and conversational experience to both teachers and students. [81]  Mobile learning is adapted in classes sin

Information technology Information technology  ( IT ) is the application of  computers  and  telecommunications equipment  to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate  data , [1]  often in the context of a business or other enterprise. [2]  IT is considered a subset of information and communications technology  (ICT). In 2012, Zuppo proposed an ICT hierarchy where each hierarchy level "contain some degree of commonality in that they are related to technologies that facilitate the transfer of information and various types of electronically mediated communications.". [3]  Business/IT was one level of the ICT hierarchy. The term is commonly used as a  synonym  for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information  distribution technologies such as television and telephones. Several  industries  are associated with information technology, including  computer hardware ,  software ,  electronics ,  semiconductors ,  internet ,  telecom equipment ,

Cryptography Pioneers Snag the 'Nobel Prize of Computer Science' The pioneers of the most widely-used encryption scheme on the Internet were honored yesterday with the most prestigious award in computer science. Whitfield Diffie, the former chief security officer at Sun Microsystems, and Martin E. Hellman, a professor emeritus at Stanford University in California, on Tuesday (March 1) received the $1 million cash prize that goes with the  A.M. Turing  Award, which is bestowed by the Association for Computing Machinery. The award, named after the brilliant British computer scientist Alan Turing, who used  cryptography  to crack the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, is often called the Nobel Prize of computing. "Today, the subject of encryption dominates the media, is viewed as a matter of national security, impacts government-private sector relations, and attracts billions of dollars in research and development," Alexander Wolf, the Associat
