Posted by Erin K. Banks in big data, cloud security, cloud security and compliance, security on May 7, 2013
According to LivingSocial, they were hacked a couple of weeks ago.

vCAC and Multi-Tenancy
Posted by Erin K. Banks in cloud security, Multi-tenancy, security, virtualization, virtualization, VMware on April 25, 2013
Often times for me multi-tenancy is a topic of discussion. The customer wants to build an environment, an apartment building that many people reside in and yet everyone thinks they live there alone. None of the residents are quite sure how big the house is. All they know is that they have their own door […]

This post was composed in March 2013. I wanted to make this clear because I am pretty sure that Facebook will change their security settings again and this will post will be completely out of date. You see Facebook is now allowing codes to be used when accessing your account. We all know that passwords […]

Just like I did for FISMA, I wanted to review the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program Security Controls (FedRAMP) current release and provide you with my view of it. They indicate the purpose of the document is to “list the security controls and corresponding enhancements that Federal Agencies and Cloud Service Providers (CSP) must […]
NIST SP800-144 “Guidelines on Security and Privacy in Public Cloud Computing” – A Relationship Manual
Posted by Erin K. Banks in cloud security on February 9, 2012
Participating in a public cloud means that there are two independent parties involved. When two parties are involved, a relationship is formed. Just like every kind of relationship… it is hard.
