Book description
Cut through the hype, understand cloud services, and enhance your privacy and security!
To some people, the Cloud is a hard concept to grasp; what does it mean exactly? For others, it's the sheer complexity of the Cloud that is confusing; how to choose among the ever-increasing number of options. And for yet others, it's the security of the Cloud that is a concern; do I need to worry that my data isn't safe?
With Take Control of the Cloud, Second Edition, award-winning author Joe Kissell cuts through the confusion and gives his expert advice on how to make the Cloud work best for you, no matter your needs. From a detailed explanation of what the Cloud is, to his top picks for cloud products and services, to how to enhance privacy and security in the Cloud, Joe covers the topics that are crucial to a clear understanding of what the Cloud can (and can't) do for you.
Free Webinar As an added bonus, this book includes a free webinar for additional advice and problem-solving! (Although the webinar has already occurred--twice--purchasers can view recordings of the events at their leisure.)
