And, a good point about the sensationalism out there. One of my takeaways from that cloud meeting we both attended was security is a relative thing. How secure is the in-house IT that the customer is using now? What are there holes they know about because they haven't deemed it worthwhile to pay the cost to secure or because of the resultant ways it would get in the way of doing business? Also, the time-tested question of "How have other companies assured themselves of this cloud vendor's security" is relevent. After all, your in-house security probably follows this model to some degree. cheers, Lionel Hi J,
