I'm sorta with Kurt on this one. While I'm sure a great many companies can move to such services at reasonable risk, I also think there's going to be an eventual counter-migration for some of those companies. Same thing that's happened for some companies with outsourcing for other reasons; it's a short-term gain but a long-term loss. However, this counter-migration will not occur at any significant level until some massive breaches occur and cause some high-profile companies to loose significant money, or even go out of business. The public breaches we've seen so far are child's play in comparison to what's coming. Some will no doubt consider this needless fear. Only time will tell who is right. -- Ben ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
