It has been a long two years since Mourad Ben Lakhoua and I first started our talks about writing a book on security together. Many things have happend since then, and the scope of the book have changed dramatically.

What started out as an idea of writing "something" together, ended up with The Cloud Security Rules, a book co-authored with 13 information security bloggers and industry specialists. The topics include standards like the ISO27001, PCI-DSS and compliance. It discussess password use, authentication and ID. And it looks into how the Cloud should, and could be used from a security perspective.

Whitehall IT chiefs have been warned by the intelligence agency GCHQ that security problems with cloud computing could foil their plans to use the technology to slash the cost of public services. The assessment forms part of the first report of the Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC), seen by The Register.
