Datagate Prism: Kroes warns about using the cloud!

In this article of the Courier of Communications, the message of the European Commissioner Neelie Kroes is reported which sounds like a cold shower for American companies that would like to make the cloud, the new panacea of ​​the world!

Thinking is linear: if European citizens and businesses feel in danger about the data they want to keep confidential ( as a sacrosanct right enshrined in Europe ) , they will no longer use the services offered by American operators!

Clear and strong message, without a doubt!

And disastrous economic consequences for the stars and stripes suppliers!

The case is now overt, but still many seem not to have realized and continue to talk about savings and optimizations of a cloud infrastructure, without evaluating an incontrovertible fact: when the data has left your company or pc, they no longer know where they are and there is no certainty that they will remain confidential!

If the cloud were offered with an insurance policy that covered data theft and spying, it would probably be easier to start evaluating it!
Without excluding a fundamental clause: that the servers are well IDENTIFIED, but above all geolocated in the territory where there is a law for the peremptory protection of data ( in Europe)….Everything else is boring! ( Great Caliph!)
