The View From The Cloud At The Winter Olympics
Temperatures here in Montreal have once again settled into the low negative 30s. Rather than complain, we embrace the cold and head outside. And this year, it?s with the added benefit of getting ready for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. To be fair, we are not all Olympic athletes able to compete in bobsledding, skeleton, or moguls. But we do feel like winter sports are an essential part of our everyday lives. We feel personally connected with the event, and, for me, this extends to issues of security. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to talk with Juliette Kayyem, a professor who teaches on homeland security at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. At the time, she said something that has stayed with me ever since: ?If you want to have a perfectly safe Super Bowl, don?t have a Super Bowl.?

Key Encryption In The Battle For Cloud Security
One of the major challenges that comes with cloud computing, especially for security professionals, is protecting sensitive data that?s stored in the cloud. Consideration also has to be given to various regulatory compliance requirements that have to be met. The most common way to secure this data is via encryption, but the question arises as to who should be responsible for maintaining the encryption keys. With SaaS solutions, it can be difficult to separate encryption key management from the provider, so it?s up to each customer to explore available options. One of the main challenges is to implement encryption that doesn?t hamper user experience or performance. This, coupled with encryption key management, makes the situation very complex.
