What do the experts really think about the cloud?

Ask a bunch of different ITSec experts if the cloud is a safe place to do business and you get a bunch of different answers. The truth is that there is just no overall consensus of opinion when it comes to data security in the cloud. Which is why I was interested to see that a panel of security experts had got together recently to discuss just this question in a round-robin debate held by hosting outfit UKFast. So what did they have to say?
