The growing reliance on Cloud-based technology and information concerns me in light of the current explosion in incidents of computer hacking crimes.

Look at the current publicity being given to the dangers of Cryptolocker and its associated threats.

If we rely increasingly, and eventually wholly, on communications infrastructure then we could be held to ransom far more easily.

At least some local retention of diagnostic capability should be maintained.

I wouldn't want to rely solely on the Cloud for my security back-ups - far too much can go wrong.

Steve
