Internet Security is in the Power of the Cloud

Netbook computers offer an affordable entry into portable
computing, especially for buyers with tight budgets.
Basically, netbook users do not want to be frustrated by a
slow computer while browsing the Internet or when sending
or receiving email. In addition, netbooks are most often
used to surf the Internet and many people may not be aware
of precautions they need to take to protect themselves
against security threats.

This low computing power also means sophisticated netbook
users often shut down critical security programs to boost
speed of their computer. Despite its sophisticated cloud
technology security, anti-virus and anti-spyware for
netware must be light on the device's memory, and run in
the background, providing comprehensive, up-to-date
protection against online threats without slowing down the
system.

In-the-cloud computing technology has been compared to the
early proliferation of electricity. Homes, towns and
businesses did not want to rely on their own source of
power. They began connecting into a greater power grid,
supported and controlled by power utilities. And so along
with this utility connection came time and cost savings, in
addition to greater access to, and more reliable
availability of power.

Cloud computing has evolved through a number of phases
including grid and utility computing, application service
provision (ASP), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The
concept of delivering computing resources through a global
network is rooted in the sixties by J.C.R. Licklider, who
was responsible for enabling the development of the
Advanced Research Projects Agency Network in 1969.

Furthermore, much like what we call cloud computing today,
Licklider's vision was for everyone around the world to be
interconnected and accessing programs and data at any site.
Since that time, cloud computing developed progressively,
and since the Internet, only started to offer significant
bandwidth in the nineties. That's why there are other key
factors that enabled cloud computing to transpire. This
includes the maturing of what is known as virtualisation
technology. This is universal high-speed bandwidth and
software interoperability standards. This is why cloud
computing for the masses has taken time, with the most
recent being for Web 2.0.

The industry analysts appear to all be in support of next
generation cloud computing, also known as private clouds,
public clouds, and hybrid cloud environments. Cloud
computing is transforming today's computing for a better
future in the clouds.

Next generation cloud-client content security
infrastructure, is designed to block Internet security
threats before they reach users. It's protection while
reducing reliance on time-consuming signature-downloads. By
combining Internet-based or "in-the-cloud" technologies
with smaller, lighter-weight clients, users will have
immediate access to the latest protection wherever and
however they connect - from home, or when on the go
anywhere.

Cloud technology helps automatically stop viruses and
spyware before they reach your computer, so it won't slow
you down - it's a whole new way to protect your computer.
This means that real-time updates keep your PC protected
from the latest online threats. This Internet security
technology is light on your system resources so your
computer runs faster.
