Completely updated for 2013, this new edition of the bestseller provides lay readers with a concise, to-the-point, up-to-date, no-nonsense introduction to the fundamental security issues confronting those enterprises who have moved, or are considering a move, to the Cloud. In a jargon-free approach that assumes little prior knowledge, Lars Nielsen explores both the advantages and the pitfalls of various options in order to provide the very best data by which enterprises can make informed decisions about how to proceed with their own Cloud security paradigms.
