Software as a service solutions and IT security: (Potentially) a match made in heaven

// May 13th, 2010 // 3 Comments » // Cloud Computing, Software as a Service // Jacqui Conn

I had a few minutes the other day to peruse my backlogged library of articles (you know – the ones you put away until you can get your head above water long enough to catch your breath) when an article about SaaS and cloud services security in the government sector caught my attention.   The reason …
