08 Jun 2013 Google Puts Privacy at Top of Data Centre Location Choice [31316]
v3 co uk, May 30th, 2013

"Google places customer data security as its number one criteria when selecting data centre sites to try and avoid the prying eyes of governments," writes Dan Worth in "v3 co uk".

"Many large technology firms, such as Google, Facebook and Apple, are rapidly growing their data centre locations to take advantage of benefits such as cool climates, access to power, and connectivity to major web hubs as user demand for their services rockets.

However, speaking at the DataCentres Europe conference on Thursday, Google programme manager for global infrastructure, Peter Jones, explained that privacy is still the overriding factor as the firm is wary of any regions where it cannot guarantee data control..."

03 Jun 2013 Enterprises Sitting On Security Time Bomb as Office Workers Compromise Company Data [31371]
Dark Reading, May 30, 2013

"Companies are at serious risk of data security breaches as 38% of U.S. office workers admit to storing work documents on personal cloud tools and services. The nationwide survey of 2,000 office workers carried out for Huddle by Ipsos MORI revealed that almost a fifth (16 percent) of people use Dropbox to store work documents, while Google Drive and Apple iCloud came in second and third place with 15% and 12% respectively. With 91% of workers also stating that they use personal devices to store, share, access or work on company documentation, organizations are at risk of losing data and intellectual property forever as it becomes fragmented across multiple devices and cloud services..."

02 Jun 2013 Cloud-Service Contracts and Data Protection: Unintended Consequences [31230]
TechRepublic, May 20th, 2013

"There are things your cloud-service (Facebook, Amazon, Google, Dropbox, etc.) contracts aren't telling you..."

Michael P. Kassner interviews an attorney concerned about what's not being said. Writing in "TechRepublic" he says, "'If it's not private, it's not protected.'

When I heard Tyler Pitchford mention the above quote in his ShmooCon 2013 talk: 'The Cloud, Storms on the Horizon,' I thought he was stating the obvious. I mean duh, if it's public; of course, it's not protected. Fortunately for me, I kept watching the video, eventually learning that's not what Tyler was trying to say.

What's more, by the end of the video it became apparent that I needed to rethink how and why I use cloud services. Using cloud services could lead to significant legal implications, and ultimately, financial hardships.

If you're thinking this is yet more chastising to get everyone to read End User's License Agreements (EULA), it's not. I'm taking aim at what's not being said in EULAs and privacy policies..."

02 Jun 2013 10 Online Tools for Managing Outsourced Projects [31234]
Business 2 Community, May 22nd, 2013

"The global marketplace and the Internet are responsible for some major changes to traditional office and workplace dynamics. One of the most impactful changes has been the outsourcing of office and tech jobs," writes Nick Nielson in "Business 2 Community".

"Following in the footsteps of manufacturing, a good deal of tech jobs are now being performed overseas. Business projects can now be conceived, planned and executed without any of the team members meeting face to face. For the project manager, particularly those used to traditional in-office management, this can be a daunting task. How do you train, manage and reward employees that are separated by thousands of miles? ..."
