There may be a number of unresolved security issues around cloud computing but if you try to resist the trend you are likely to be shown the door.
This was the claim of Philippe Courtot, chairman of security company Qualys, speaking at the RSA Conference in San Francisco last week.
"We know that it's getting harder and harder to secure the current computing infrastructure and something has to change. Fundamentally there are too many variables and too many security patches," he said.
