Expert Says ‘Cloud’ Technology Is Very Secure
KCNC-TV CBS4 News
Cloud storage is getting a lot of publicity these days. It's designed to simplify and consolidate information in one location. But how secure is the technology?
Music may be safe on the cloud, but what about personal data? University of Denver business professor Stephen Haag says it's quite safe. "The cloud technology on a personal consumer level is safer than storing information in your own home," Haag said.
Haag, who helps corporations design anti-hacking technology, says the cloud has elaborate security. "It's like taking your money to the bank rather than keeping it at your own house," he said. "It's safer at the bank."
Haag has one very simple, very safe rule for protection. "Don't put anything on a piece of technology that you wouldn't want to blow up on a 24 by 36 poster and hang on your front door. That's the rule to follow," Haag said. more>
