ABSTRACT
BYOD implies mobile computing and those on the run often use the cloud to store and access both personal and organizational documents. Thus, it is worthwhile to consider the cloud dynamic, including selection, legal issues, and security. The federal government’s CIO Council carefully considered these issues (2012). This chapter aligns with their findings and recommendations. Readers are also urged to review Cloud Procurement Questions, Appendix F, which provides a comprehensive worksheet for cloud vendor selection. Readers will also be interested in reviewing Appendix K, which provides a detailed security checklist that can be used when accessing cloud vendors and web service providers.
