Are you this or, ‘that’?

Active and inspiring OR pompous and traditional? Sharing and helpful OR detached and superior? Understand and train OR administer and supervise? Lead by character OR lead by rules?

Data with them, are you nuts?

“There’s no fu%^ing way I’m putting any company data in any public arena. It’s way too dangerous!”

“Calm down dear, it’s only progression.”

So, let’s start with the standard bloggers template of a Wiki definition: “Security is the degree of protection against danger, damage, loss, and crime.”

Talking with enterprises daily, reassurance of a secure environment is close to the top of everyones ‘need to know’ when conversation turns to Cloud, be it Big Data, Social Collaboration, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS or whatever todays ill-educated marketers have conjured up in their cauldron of hysteria.

Deprived of coal they had no electricity, without electricity they had no business. You would see daily, guy’s moving coal from carriages and storage to the searing basement furnaces 24/7/365.
