Cloud computing requires new laws to protect users and guide companies. To avoid the "Wild West" and to support the development of a market now estimated at 16.5 billion dollars in the world, but with a potential 55 billion in 2014 (according to IDC research observatory). And 'the theme, more political than technical, addressed today in Rome 4 Cloud Skills event, organized by Microsoft at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Italy, with a comparison between the political, institutional and business sector.
A confirmation must be spoken: many are probably already using services "cloud" even if they do not know. By this term it means those services that provide access via the Internet resources of various types: pictures, e-mail, even power. All you had to first take on their pc, to use it, can now be moved on the Internet: the "cloud" (hence the term "cloud").
Perhaps the most famous cloud service users is the common Web mail: use the mail through the website instead of a program installed on your PC. We do cloud computing, however, even when storing photos or files on various websites, for example, on Flickr or Facebook. These services will in fact replace the "no cloud" of our hard disk.
Given the success of Facebook and the web mail, perhaps the number of users to the cloud world is not far from 2 billion, ie the total of those who go on the Internet. "This phenomenon is changing the world and is therefore not only technical but also cultural," Scurlock says Marco, one of € parliamentarians attending the conference.
"We agree to establish working groups to arrive at a draft law on the cloud. The purpose is twofold," says Scurlock, "On the one hand, ensure that the policy left behind and maybe get to make laws that do not reflect the market . On the other hand, removing the risk that companies run on their own, doing their own interests and not those of users.
" In this regard, there are two hot spots at the conference addressed: privacy and security of data on the cloud. About 68 percent of companies frightened by the cloud is due to these two problems, according to the London School of Economics. Security means that the user data must be well protected from the risks of falling into the wrong hands.
It must also be handled properly in compliance with the privacy policy. What rules? And 'here the heart of the problem: the current standards are national, but the phenomenon is global. We Italians we can put our information on cloud services operating around the world via computer. To our protection, the norms of the country where they are physically present data.
The European authorities to safeguard privacy and then argue, first, that the user has the right to transparency. To know where your data (name, photo, personal preferences ...) and it is protected. "We support the position of trustees in favor of maximum transparency," says Peter Scott Jovane, CEO of Microsoft Italy.
"Microsoft already said where the data geographically, where is his back up and it is protected (we communicate the security certifications used). There are three aspects which should be transparent in any cloud offering," he continues. Francesco Pizzetti, President of the Italian Privacy Italian look further: "The EU Directive on privacy is obsolete, we must review it with an international agreement.
And in the meantime, it would be advisable for suppliers to" give notice "(that is, to subject) the Guarantors to the cloud its services across Europe. " In summer the European Commission will present just a proposal to amend the privacy legislation and announced a revolution to require companies to treat the data of European citizens according to European rules.
Apart from other considerations, such as the nationality of the company or the location of the data. Is to change everything, because the European rules for privacy are stricter, for your protection. The challenge will be to clip the wings to protect it without a promising market, which IDC estimates will grow in Italy: 41% on 2010 and then drops to 671 million euro in 2014.
With beneficial effects also on the ecosystem. According to Microsoft, cloud computing world will add at least $ 800 billion in revenue in local economies by 2013. In Europe will create over 100 000 new small and medium enterprises and will grow by 0.3 percent gross domestic product.
