I was at the AWS Benelux Summit in The Hague last week. I particularly enjoyed Werner Vogel’s keynote speech and want to use this column to highlight three aspects of his keynote that I felt stood out.
There is no reason anymore, not to encrypt your data.
A co-creation with my colleague Janot van Wegen, Risk Officer.
Before the cloud era, you had your own IT organization as a reliable gatekeeper to make your company a cyber fortress. With a strong gateway, your data and applications were kept in house and in good hands. Nowadays a Fort Knox stance on cyber security is unrealistic. Applications that are designed to make the best use of the functionality of all aspects of the cloud are distributed and therefore cannot be captured in the traditional Fort Knox paradigm. With the rise of cloud-native computing, expertise in security and compliance is a must for everyone in the chain
De Supreme Court gaat uitspraak doen in de Microsoft-cloudzaak waarbij het Amerikaanse bedrijf door de rechter verplicht werd data van haar Europese dochter af te geven aan de FBI. Dat las ik (dank, tipgevers) bij Ars Technica. De zaak loopt al een tijdje en kan enorme gevolgen hebben voor de bruikbaarheid van de cloud voor Europese bedrijven.

Lately I have been looking a lot into the risks and security aspects of cloud service. And to be honest, from a security perspective, cloud is not that new. Most of the risks associated with cloud services are actually exactly the same as those related to outsourcing, a subject I’m obviously quite familiar with. In that respect, the Free Software Foundation Europe is quite right.
Yet, saying that Cloud is just the same as outsourcing would not do justice to what is currently going on. There are really a few differences that set aside modern day cloud computing from classic outsourcing.
Het in de cloud zetten van de ict en daarnaast meer gaan drukken op de regie is een bekend management paradigma. Veelal ingegeven door powerpoints van gerenommeerde organisatieadviesbureaus...
On the 6th of October, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) published a court ruling that could potentially have implications for organisations transferring data to the US. The ECJ has ruled that the Safe Harbour agreement is overruled by the national data protection authorities and is thus invalid.This is a result of the case against Facebook in Ireland, raised by an Austrian privacy activist. The privacy activist..
