Rich Internet Applications

• Desktop Application Online• Scalable• Synchronizable• Portable• Rich interface and functionality• Secure

What is Cloud Computing?Cloud computing allows businesses and individuals to use hardware and software as a service over a network.

The cloud services must have these essential characteristics:•on-demand, self-serve access•broad network access that accepts all devices – including:

• computers,• smart phones, • game consoles, • and other network-enabled

devices•resource pooling•rapid elasticity or scalability•Measured service optimization so that usage can be monitored, controlled, reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service

The types of Cloud Deployments

Some concerns in cloud computing

• Security of sensitive data on cloud services• In case of one-to-one relationship of business to provides

the responsibility and the security level are higher. The complexity is in the case of public cloud and hybrid cloud.

• Multi-tenancy is as well an important characteristic of cloud services. This element requires that the provider implies policies for:

– segmentation – isolation, – governance, – service levels, – billing models for different customer.

Application Security

• Computer malware is getting more complex every day.

• hiring a hacker is easy and affordable

• hacker proof software applications

Common techniques used by hackers

• Social engineering• Phishing• Key logging• Distributed Denial of Service • Traffic sniffing

General protection rules

• Basic Training for users • Update Your system Frequently• Detailed Security Levels • Physical Server and Workstation Access

protection • Keep Usage and access Logs • Use Intrusion Detection Systems• Read contract terms and Service Level

Agreements carefully

Scalable and Synchronizable Applications

Scalable and Synchronizable Applications

• Check and summarize the data in the peripheral sites– Centralized vs Decentralized

• Transmit the data through any way of communication– optic fibers– GPRS – Etc

• Get, verify and store the data in the central site– Server, database

Social BusinessSocial Business is the setup of strategies, technologies and procedures to involve regularly and in a systematic order everyone in its ecosystem of:

market reach into the company (outside-in)

Vertical and Horizontal collaboration dynamics

Conclusion

• Choose carefully you software• Security Priority• Scalable and expandable software is crucial• Social Technology
