Building Confidence in Cloud Computing
Cloud computing offers tremendous potential for efficiency, cost savings and innovation. Yet several challenges limit widespread adoption of cloud technologies, including ensuring the privacy and security of data stored in the cloud. Microsoft is responding to these challenges by working to build more secure systems and datacenters, and adhering to clear, responsible privacy and security practices — from software development through service delivery, operation and support.
To fully realize the benefits of cloud computing, government action also is needed to ensure that a robust privacy and security legal framework exists to protect and provide user rights and benefits in the cloud.
