You and your colleague develop a proposal for migrating your department’s resources to a public cloud and then present it to the department’s IT services director. He is immediately concerned about security. Some of the data derived from experiments, including gene sequencing information, is stored on your server’s hard disks and is strictly confidential. A data leak would lead to great embarrassment, and possibly lawsuits. Not only that, but the IT services director believes that if data were stolen from a cloud computing environment, the culprit would probably never be found. You investigate the security assurances of two leading cloud network solutions, Amazon’s EC2 and Rackspace. After looking into it, list the security measures and guarantees these providers promise. Based on what you have learned, what aspect of public cloud security remains the weakest? How does this compare with the security of your network as it is currently structured? What types of security are you, as the network administrator, still responsible for providing? How do you answer your boss’s claim that security breaches in the cloud cannot be traced?
