Elevator Pitch

Elevator Pitch

Hello Professor Daun, my name is Patrick Dileo and if I can have a minute of your time I would like to talk to you about cloud computing. As you may know cloud computing is something that we encounter almost everyday but we don’t realize it. We are consistently using cloud setups such as google drive and apple icloud to save our personal information that we want to keep to ourselves. We have the ability to save one thing to our computer and then pull out a phone, tablet or laptop and open it up on their. This way we can always have our data or information no matter where we go. Cloud computing sounds great on paper with being able to access files and such from any device but there is a big problem when it comes down to it. The number one problem that not only me but others have with cloud computing is the idea of someone else hacking into the cloud and getting a hold of all your personal information. Just imagine someone hacking into a big business who keeps track of all it’s customers and employees’ personal information through the cloud. That person now knows all of everyone’s information and nothing good could come out of that. The bottom line is that cloud computing has its pros and cons but if you’re not careful enough all you hard work can be gone in a second, that’s why I would like you to help me with an ACURA project that can help protect cloud computing against cyber-attacks.
