Business environments have changed dramatically over the last 10 years, with an increasing amount of business transactions performed "in the cloud", utilizing e-commerce and e-business applications. Security of customer and corporate data becomes critical in this type of business environment.
Using the online library, industry websites, or published articles (scholarly or trade), identify some "best practices" that are being employed to protect consumer and corporate data in the cloud.
Write a short paper (2-3 pages) which provides description of the practices, the applications they are related to, and the effectiveness they have in protecting data.
