Cloud Computing – Pro’s & Con’s (4a)

Cloud Computing is the storing of data, applications, networking, and more! Below is a list of some pros as well as cons of cloud computing today:

Pros:

Loss Prevention

Collaboration

Mobility

Cons:

Security/Privacy

Technical Issues

Dependency of Internet 

There are so many more pros and cons that can be listed for cloud computing besides the ones listed above. One pro and con that I really wanted to talk more about is mobility (pro) and security (con). Cloud computing is great for those on the go and need information in a quick second, and that’s where cloud computing comes in. With the cloud you are able to access the information you are looking for with such simple presses of a button, and can take that information wherever it needs to go, giving it mobility which is a great thing to have. On the flip side, no matter the advantages there is always the disadvantage of your security. In the tech world we live in today there are so many different kinds of hackers that try their best to get into anyones private information, including the cloud as well. This is a great risk for yourself, personally with your own information but also businesses as well. Businesses have a lot of private information that cannot be shared and if their security was breached, a lot would be at stake in that situation.
