It's impossible to patch - so what are you to do?
ZD Net Explains:
There's an ongoing debate about the security implications of using cloud computing services versus running IT systems in-house.
Cloud advocates note that the largest cloud companies will have hundreds, or even thousands, of security staff and the time and money to keep their systems up to date. In contrast, the average enterprise may only have a handful of security staff to cover a wide range of different systems, many of which may be ageing and incapable of being entirely secure. However, some businesses feel more secure holding their critical data themselves rather than trusting it to a cloud company that may spread it across datacenters in different countries.
But however good the systems are, the weak link is always the humans, according to ethical hacker and penetration tester Jamie Woodruff.
