‘Why Google’s Now Encrypting Data In The Cloud’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Why Google’s Now Encrypting Data In The Cloud”.
Selena Larson says, “In what seems to be a response to increased anxiety about the privacy of data stored online among both consumers and businesses following revelations of extensive spying by US government agencies, Google announced that Google Cloud Storage, a service used by third-party developers to build cloud apps, now automatically encrypts all data before it is written to disk. Google is not charging anything extra for the service.
Users of Cloud Storage do not need to configure or modify the way they access the service—though if developers were previously managing their own encryption, they may want to reprogram their apps to save themselves the work”.
