Does anyone worry about the built-in Law Enforcement Access systems that the cloud services have? Bruce Schneier wrote an essay (http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/01/23/schneier.google.hacking/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/01/23/schneier.google.hackin...) describing why that was bad and how it played into the Chinese hack of gmail. I hate to be a wet blanket, but just can't help to wonder, how many people stop and think of their privacy and the privacy of their corporate data, or do they just rush, following the herd over this particular cliff?
- jnoller 17y agoIn the case of Nasuni and the Filer product; we have thought about this. All data is encrypted using your encryption keys, before being stored in the cloud. You're perfectly right to be concerned though. Storing your data in the cloud, in the clear does open you to risk, which is one of the reasons cloud storage has not "taken off" for businesses in general, and why we do so much work to encrypt and protect all data before it is sent over the wire. We wrote a blog post on this recently, in fact: http://www.nasuni.com/news/nasuni-blog/security-and-the-nasuni-filer/ http://www.nasuni.com/news/nasuni-blog/security-and-the-nasu...
- sachinag 17y agoOh! Another question (and I'm not trying to be a dick; I'm just really curious - data storage/retrieval in the cloud solves 1,000 other problems): how's Nasuni different than Cleversafe? Cleversafe runs their own data centers, I believe, but other than that, it seems similar: http://www.cleversafe.com/ http://www.cleversafe.com/
