Topic: Cloud Computing: Ethical & Legal Issues
ABSTRACT
In recent years more and more organizations are looking at ways to gaining efficiencies, while increasing profit margins. In an effort to maintain a competitive edge, many organizations are turning to cloud technology to assist with their need to keep ahead of their competitors, this technology is deemed the next generation of IT. This paper briefly reviews cloud computing risks, along with some of the ethical and legal issues that arise and how they may be mitigated. By reviewing previous research on the topic, the intent of this paper is to provide a better understanding of some of the issues and solutions surrounding cloud computing can assist with the securing of information in the clouds. However, there is still much more research required to fully understand what the greater impact is pertaining to cloud computing, a question of complete protection that may never be fully understood due to the continuous advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICTs), making it difficult to proactively anticipate all risks including ethical and legal issues associated with cloud computing. This paper provides food for thought and requires much more research to grasp a broader scope around the legal and ethical issues that organizations are faced with when moving to the cloud.

The Landing files tool can be used to share files with others, comment on them and build dialogue around them.
Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.
You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.

Good presentation Natalia. Links in well with the concerns I raised in my presentation regarding how the TPP permits storage of personal and sensitive information outside of national boundaries.
