Whether your data is sitting in your data center on a server or in a service provider’s data center in the cloud, making sure it’s safe is critical to your business surviving. I’m not talking about public information, like your marketing brochures or press releases, but about sensitive and confidential information.
Some people believe that your data is safe if it’s inside your own datacenter. You have firewalls, intrusion detection systems, anti-virus and a host of perimeter defenses. Yet, in the last few months alone, companies have had hundreds of thousands of records stolen from servers sitting in so-called protected environments.

The movement of BYOD (bring your own device) to work has now reached the US Federal Government.

One of the most interesting things about software as a service (SaaS) and cloud computing in general is that many offerings are trying to simplify people’s lives. They are taking the complexity out of something and making it easier for you to focus on your business.
If I want to build a SaaS application today, I would most likely use the Amazon or Microsoft cloud for my platform (or pick your favorite provider). I purchase virtual computing time and storage and run my application. They have made it easy for me to get up and running. I don’t have to find and buy a server, install an operating system, configure it and then worry about maintaining it. Someone else worries about all that.
