What is Cloud Computing?
Basically an Internet-based network
Made up of large numbers of servers
Contain vast amounts of information
Users only care about the service or information, not about the underlying details
History of Cloud computing
1960 - John McCarthy
came into commercial use around the turn of the 21st century
2007 saw increased activity, including Google, IBM
It was a hot topic by mid-2008 and numerous cloud computing events had been scheduled.
Seven Technical Security Benefits of Cloud computing
Reduced Data Leakage
The data “landmines” of today could be greatly reduced by the Cloud
Monitoring benefits
central storage is easier to control and monitor
Incident Response
Forensic readiness
Decrease evidence acquisition time
Eliminate or reduce service downtime
Decrease evidence transfer time
Eliminate forensic image verification time
Decrease time to access protected documents
Password assurance testing
Decrease password cracking time
you can use Cloud Compute to decrease crack time
Keep cracking activities to dedicated machines
password cracker to spread the load across non-production machines
