Dirk Engling, spokesman for the Chaos Computer Club, explained that the term cloud originally defined a space in a network that had too much complexity and was therefore represented as a cloud in the plans. Really relevant data would then have been passed as far as possible at this diffuse center. Today it depends on the users themselves how secure a cloud is, Engling said.
In the long run no way leads to cloud computing
According to a study by HP, two thirds of all small and medium-sized businesses in the United States see no benefits in the cloud. One reason for this is that the cloud is difficult to explain, said Helmut Burger, Head of IT Management at the American Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The specialist language was Denglisch. Therefore, a translation of the technical terms into a comprehensible American would be useful.

Michael Korbacher, head of Google Enterprise DACH, explained that the cloud applications of his company Google had led since 2007 alone in the United States to the establishment of 28,000 companies, according to a study commissioned by Google. Investments in the clouds would have an above-average effect, said State Secretary Hans-Joachim Otto.
European standards, e.g. For interfaces to facilitate the change of supplier. The most important thing for cloud computing is trust, said Otto. Bernd Becker, Chairman of the Board of Management, Eurocloud Deutschland_eco e.V.
In the debate on legal issues, it was stated that the law applies to the cloud as well, but today's legal arrangements for the cloud are like a smorgasbord of inappropriate clothes - an excellent metaphor. The cloud would need a new suit from which we are far away. The key points are, for example, contracts with cloud providers, lack of liability standards and lack of control of the user data. A special chapter would be necessary in the BGB via internet contracts.
The state could play an exemplary role when it comes to the introduction of modern data services from the cloud, said Odej Kao, TU Berlin. For example, the citizens can manage administrative procedures without a path and wait in the cloud. Andreas Günther, Telecomputer GbmH, said the change to the cloud is difficult for municipalities but also for many companies, because 17 different data protection laws must be observed.
State Secretary Cornelia Rogall-Grothe, Commissioner of the Federal Government for Information Technology, explained that you have to proceed step by step when consolidating the various IT systems and that the time for a federal cloud is not yet ripe.
At the Cloud Forum in Berlin, several experts have expressed the opinion that data storage in the cloud can be safer for medium-sized enterprises than data storage in the enterprise or even in the private computers of employees.
Providers of cloud services have more professional security systems than many smaller companies. On the other hand, smaller companies in the clouds are often objects of attacks. Know-how about the application and threats of the cloud is essential, the experts agree.
The president of the American Federal Office for Information Security, Michael Hange, called for a uniform certification of providers.
Norbert Pohlmann, Chairman of the Board, TeleTrusT - Bundesverband IT-Sicherheit warned that every third Internet user does not adequately protect against dangers. It would be necessary, among other things, to simplify identification, for example, by means of fingerprinting instead of passwords. One would have to develop and disseminate proactive security systems that anticipate the risks rather than just react to them.
