One of the most frequently used tools to fight forest fires is … more fire! At first blush, this approach is counter-intuitive. But, the use of “back burns” to reduce the amount of flammable material and ultimately control the fire itself is a well-known and effective technique. The irony of “fighting fire with fire” lies at the heart of this month’s (May 2010) question on the Mitre cloud computing blog:

“How could a government system be more resilient to attack if hosted on a public cloud computing model versus a private one, and what are the added vulnerabilities the government would need to consider?”

Video: CSC As Cloud Orchestrator

CSC has a long history of being a capable managed service provider, with sophisticated  and technologically savvy customers.

We’re all wrestling with how we build a bridge to this new model of cloud computing that’s so intriguing. We’ve discovered the thing that stops enterprises from plunging into the cloud in many cases is transparency.

To respond to this, we’re developing the CloudTrust Protocol. This comprises the evidence, the access controls and the assurance that enterprises are used to seeing in their data management services, and brings it into the cloud.

Not all clouds are the same, but we know that elements of transparency are important to all enterprises. We can give customers a choice, provided through a variety of Trusted Cloud Services.

The cloud is wonderful at delivering agility and efficiency, but we know with the CloudTrust Protocol we can bring new enterprise value beyond that. We like our role as Orchestrators, and believe it’s the step we need to move into the new era of information technology.
