In cloud security advice we trust? At your peril…

The trouble is it is becoming harder to separate the good advice from the bad. Especially when there are so many well-meaning folk who are offering what they believe to be good advice, but which actually should be filed under 'needs a lot closer inspection' rather than 'quick sound bite to be taken as gospel' as is all too often the case. Take the well-known entrepreneur James Caan, a former Dragon from the BBC Dragon's Den series and CEO of private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw, who is an undoubted expert on many things business-related and I wouldn't want to suggest otherwise. I think I am on fairly safe territory when I say that he isn't a renowned expert on cloud security though.
