Bruce Schneier has an compelling piece up today, debunking a piece in \”Dark Reading\” regarding the potential for a terrorist attack on \”cloud servers\”.
Please take a look at Bruce\’s evaluation of the threat…

Schneier on Security: Terrorist Risk of Cloud Computing: \”Terrorist Risk of Cloud Computing\”

But in my opinion, there is a risk, but only due to two reasons:
1) Poor design & management of the cloud servers. They would be at risk, only if they did not properly have a secondary site, along with off site backups.
2) Poor design & management of the data center. I can foresee the potential for having large data centers, but once again, if those servers in the data centers are not backed up offsite, and have offsite roll-over servers then they are vulnerable to be taken \”out\”.
Overall, a properly managed company would have this figured up with their disaster recovery plans.
