NIST Cloud Security Working Group – Complimentary

The Internet was designed to foster collaboration across multiple private networks, providing a low security barrier to entry for new hosts that wanted to connect and share information. With threats emerging via multiple vectors coupled with the explosion of pervasive computing created by the Internet of Things, we reached a technical inflection point that calls for innovative solutions in support of the further development of ubiquitous cloud computing. Is today’s Internet capable of supporting the security, privacy and functional solutions we are developing for the decades to come or do we need to redefine the Internet’s guiding principles and evolve to a new foundation?
