The state of compliance in the cloud

The attraction of the cloud is easy to understand: It provides a low cost way of storing data for businesses that, especially in this gloomy economic climate, may not have a ton of cash to throw at an on site, more expensive implementation. But one thing that your customers need to understand about the cloud is its compliance implications.

Jim Reavis, co-founder and executive director of the Cloud Security Alliance, recently sat down with SearchSecurityChannel.com to discuss compliance and the cloud. In this podcast, you’ll hear about the major compliance concerns that every security solution provider should consider, plus what kinds of technologies best address compliance and the cloud, and finally what the future of the cloud holds for compliance.
