keep data secure with cloud computing

A big company is working on a new project that requires cloud computing.  If they utilize their private network they can reasonably assume their data to be secure, given that all protocols with remote access are followed or the private network does not allow remote access.

you can just encrypt everything, and use it as a storage-as-a-service. In other cases, more and more vendors are letting customers deep dive into facilities and to see exactly how the data is being secured. It’s never absolute, but then again, security never is. Just have to determine the acceptable risk and work from there. The Microsoft, Amazon, RackSpace’s of the world likely won’t give you this “inner” peak, but often smaller vendors will.
