A Review Of Cloud Computing Security: Virtualization, Side-channel Attacks, And Management
In recent years cloud computing has become a growing interest for organizations looking to reduce their IT costs by offloading infrastructure and software costs onto 3rd party organizations who offer Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) (e.g. Google Apps), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) (e.g. Google App Engine), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) (e.g. Amazon EC2). However, due to the relative infancy of cloud based computing services, there exists uncertainty about the level of information security offered by these services. IaaS cloud services are largely reliant on virtualization technology, which is seen as providing all the security and process isolation a customer might want.

Apple Just Released A New Version Of iOS That Fixes A Huge Security Hole (AAPL)
Apple just released the next iOS update, version 4.3.4. (It's version 4.2.9 for those of you with Verizon iPhones.)
The update contains a fix for the loophole that leaves iPhones vulnerable to hackers when downloading PDFs.
It's the same vulnerability that the popular tool Jailbreak Me uses to jailbreak iPhones over the web.
If you plan on Jailbreaking using Jailbreak Me, skip this update and only download PDFs from trusted sources. Otherwise, this is an essential update for anyone.
Sync your iDevice with iTunes now to get the update.

Meet The World's Biggest Computer Security Risk
The world's biggest security concern... is you.
Forbes quotes security expert Mark Rasch as saying "There's no device known to mankind that will prevent people from being idiots."
Most successful hacking attacks are due to so-called social engineering, meaning exploiting human, not computer error. At the end of the day, many times, it's our own stupidity or carelessness that leaves us vulnerable.

Sony Has ANOTHER Big Security Problem (SNE)
Sony just can't get the hang of this security disclosure thing.
The company took Sony Online Entertainment down last night because of a problem discovered while Sony investigated last week's breach of the PlayStation Network.
In a note on the SOE Web site, the company promised to provide more information on Monday. But the day is almost done in most of the world and there's still no more word about what happened and what user data -- if any -- may have been stolen.
Sony Online Entertainment is the home for a bunch of online PC games, including Everquest, which claims more than 400,000 players.
Bloomberg cites a Nikkei news report saying that more than 12,000 credit card numbers may have been stolen in a second attack unrelated to last week's breach.
It took almost a week for Sony executives to explain and apologize for the PlayStation Network breach. The company admitted that hackers may have stolen personal information from the 77 million people using the service.
