Cloud security whitepapers

I just noticed Roger Halbheer has posted a couple of new whitepapers on Cloud Security that are not the usual techno megafest – these are more targeted at the executive summary level.

The first paper is written by Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing organization and is a high-level overview of the Cloud and its security opportunities and challenges. It’s aptly titled Security in Cloud Computing Overview .

Cloud Computing Security Considerationsis a CIO or CEO level paper and roger is looking for feedback on this one – you can drop him a line at roger.halbheer@microsoft.com -  I think it does a good job of covering compliance and risk management; identity and access management; service integrity; endpoint integrity; and information protection.
