D

Answer to Question 2

Student evaluations will vary, but should include the understanding that using the cloud for computing distributes data to remote services that a company will not have final control of, that a company's cloud data will be stored alongside the data of other companies, and that various safeguards should be in place to protect your data. A sample answer is: The safety of cloud computing as compared to in-house network computing depends on the security implemented both at the corporation and at the service provider. For example, the company will need to ensure secure procedures and make sure that employees have secure passwords and access levels. The cloud service provider should use encryption for all data, at a minimum. Clients should make sure that the service provider complies with local privacy rules, external security audits and certifications, and provides proof of encryption mechanisms.
