that can afford to attract & retain top
development talent.

What makes cloud computing so powerful
is the ability to easily expand the
resources committed to any given
application without buying more
hardware. Need more capacity? Your
cloud provider can offer more in an
instant.

using the simplest attack
methods, ones that you could
guard against simply with a well-
configured IT environment and
up-to-date anti-virus.
