Cloud is simply the current incarnation of server (LAN/farm, data center, virtualization...). I really don't see that the security issues have changed all that much (evolved maybe), or approaches to solving them. Look at us. We are in the "Lather, rinse, repeat" business. I recently quoted firewall-wizards threads from 2007 on DDoS in an article. We were discussing a 2000 SANS report encouraging egress address filtering. Still comes down to willingness to spend, will to execute. Too little of both. On Sat, Apr 13, 2013 at 12:26 AM, Marcus Ranum <mjr () ranum com> wrote:
I suspect that few on this list are comfortable with this scene. The pump is there for many because it's keeping the ship afloat while we patch and re-think how to prevent future hull breaches. Part of re-thinking is coming up with better monitoring (of hull integrity) and AWS; part is raising competencies among crew, and part is raising security awareness among passengers. All of these require the captain's approval and the captain has to empower the officers.Meanwhile, many of the ship-builders have staked their oars and declared that they will never go to sea again, but - of course - their customers are welcome to try out the very inexpensive "cloud ship" offering that "ought to work just fine." More or less. Have a nice trip. mjr. -- Marcus J.
