The Cloud Conspiracy 2008-2014 [31c3]

CCC has grown a bit, hasn’t it. I am very pleased to be hereand the first thing I want to do isto apologize for my slides. I know there is far too much informationon my slides. It breaks every rule of PowerPoint. So don’t look at thesidesmaybe but more listen to what I’m saying because otherwise it won’t make anysenseto either of us. To get through somepreliminaries. For nine yearsI was chief privacy adviser at Microsoft and I have to explaina bit about what that job was. Ididn’t have any responsibility for legal compliance thankfullyI didn’t do anything really in theUS privacy. My job was to advise40 national technology officiersaround the world. And a Microsoft national technology officeris a guy with a very big brain often one or two PHD’sable to function essentially as Microsoft’s ambassadortwo governments around the world at a very senior levelNormally citizens of their own country. In a sense see couldboil down their job to if Steve Ballmer then wanted to get a primeministeron the phone in half an hour it was the NTO’s jobto get that done. So I didn’t knowabout PRISM when I was at Microsoft and what I’m about to tell youI deduced from open sources and by decidingto read the american laws andnobody asked me to do this. What happened to me after that wasI explained to a big Microsoft internal strategy conference about cloudcomputingwith all of the cloud management there, all of my national technology officerstherethe deputy general counsel of Microsoft what I discoveredand I said to my technology officers look you ought to know this if you sellMicrosoft cloud computing to your own governmentsthen this little means thatthe NSA can conduct unlimited massive survailance on that data. So the deputygeneral counsel at Microsoft turned green. I’ve never seen anyone turn green before but she did. There was dead silence inthe roomin the coffee break I was threatened with being firedand then two months later they did fire without cause. So since then I reallyfrom 2011 went around trying to tell as many peopleas I could about what I discovered. And I’ve given variance in this speechnow about 20 times I suppose but I hope this bringsthings right up to date as about two weeks agoand also I’m gonna tell you some things which I haven’t told before. So the first thing to say is this talk is not aboutcloud as storage. This is aboutparallel processing power as a commodity and in factthis photo is is just two photos crammed togetherthe left is a modern data center and on the rightthere is a door, adoorway. You probably can’t see the number but the number is 641Anow how many people know what 641A refers to. good, okaySo 641A camefrom the story of the firstwarrantless wiretapping episode from about 2005 to 2007and I don’t have time to tell that storybut in fact that doorway containeda deep packet inspection box installed roundabout 2002in one of the main AT&T switching centersin San Francisco. So in a senseyou could boil down my talk tohow likely is it legally or technicallythat there’s one of those on the right in one of those on the left. So what this talk is going to bemainly about is the law underlying what we now callPRISM and it is the 2008Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act amendmentact which when it was passed have a different numbering which needn’t bother uscalled 1881 a now everyone calls itsection 702 and what it’s aboutis obtaining foreign intelligence information. It intentionally targetsonly non-americans outsidethe US. When I say only that is a course ninety-five percentthe world’s population. It’s a blanket authorization for one year. There’s a requirement to minimize accesson US persons after collection and to a certain extent before collectionand theprovider these services has to provide the governmentwith all facilities and information to accomplish thisacquisition in secret. So the first point I want to emphasizewhich will make sense when comes the next slide is this means if you’re notan Americanyou cannot really trust cryptographic servicesor in general software services provided by US companiesbecause even if that softwareor that cryptography is sound to begin withyou’re going to receive software updates and if you’re not an American outside the USa software update could be pushed to you targeted at youwhich is going to subvert your security. If you don’t comply with one of theseordersit’s a contempt for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. If someone in american company as Marissa Mayer said last yearif somebody in an American company were to tell say a foreign data Protection Authoritythat’s potentially an offence under the Espionage Act. Twenty years in jail or worse. So the providers ofthe services have complete immunity from civil lawsuitsand all this must be done in a manner consistentwith the US Fourth Amendment and theanalysis I’m giving you now his the analysis that I was givingpeople a year or 18 months before Snowdenverbatim. These slides haven’t been changed. So what isforeign intelligence information? Sowe have to now go back to the very first FISA act. The very first foreign intelligence surveillance act in 1978. And the definitions I am showing you, the significant part of what I’m showing youhas not changed since 1978. It’s been that longand the extraordinary thing is that in the legal literature the policy lecturethere is absolutely nothing writtenabout the part in the bottom in bold. Nothing at allfrom the perspective of a non-american. See, the print is probablytoo small but in the definition of foreign intelligence informationyou can see the sort of things that you’d expect like money laundering,sabotage, international terrorism,and then there’s the section in boldand to actually get a text at the bottom you have to unwindtwo levels of legal definition and substitute them in. What you boil it down, foreign intelligence information can meansimply information with respect to a foreign-based political organizationor foreign territory that relatesto the conduct of the foreign affairsof the United States. Nothing necessarily to do withnational security, nothing to do with terrorism,nothing to do with crime. Simplyif it relates to the foreign policy of the USwhich is an incredibly broad definition. You won’t find a definition as broad asthatin any other law I believe. So what is also a peculiar about this definition is its conditionalon nationality. Ifagain it’s slightly too small to see but if you are aUnited States person that is to say an American citizenor permanent residentwhere it saysrelates would read necessary. Necessary isa very high and strict legal threshold. But if you area foreigner outside US, it’s relates. very very low legal threshold trivialto pass. So this is the only law as far as I knowwhere the very term of the surveillance information to be obtainedis itself conditioned by the nationality of the person. Quite unique. So what this law did in 2008is it combined three elements for the first time which hadactually been there in previous laws. The first [INAUDIBLE] that itonly targets non-us persons located outside the UShad actually been there in a stopgap precursorlaw called the Protect America Act of 2007but that expired after one year and then they had to do something permanentWhich was this. But this idea of only targetting non US personslocated outside the US began with this early law in 2007. and this earlier law of 2007 was essentially designed tocleanup the first warrantless wiretappingepisode which had been raging in the US press for a couple years before that. The second thing that it didis much more significant. In the Electronic Communications Privacy Actof 1986 it defined the term called remote computingservices and when you look at that definition you’ll see that remotecomputing serviceseven though it was defined in 1986 is a very good definition ofall forms of public cloud computing that we would call today. So this new term of remote computing serviceswas snuck in to the FISAAmendment Act. Nobody apparently noticedit had been put inand the effect of this was that all the previous such laws had dealtwith telecommunication providers, an Internet service providers, providersof communicationservices. By expanding the scopeof FISA 702 to includeremote computing services it effectively thenembraced all of these obligations on provides a cloud computingand as extraordinary as it may be there was no commentary on this at the time. There’s nothing in the Congressional Research Service, there were no law paperscommenting on it, none of the civil society activism at the timenoticed this. No reference whatsoever to this edition. The third development as we discussedis coming from FISA 7 1978it doesn’t have to be about criminalityas we would understand it in Europe national security. The vital interest tothe state. It can purely mean political surveillancein the political and economic interests of the USand surveillance overordinary lawful democratic activities of people in their own countriesexercising their democratic rights and freedoms. So this was designedfor mass surveillance of any cloud data relating to US foreign policy and itcontains thisextraordinary double discrimination by nationality. Firstly in the fact that in the title of the statuteFISA 702 only targets non-americans outside the USbut also in that conditionalityin the very definition of foreign intelligence informationagain that structure is quite unique in the world. soyou remember that all of that she had to be done with regard to the fourthamendmentand although it may seem strange todayback in 2012 nobody actually knewwhether the fourth amendment applied tonon-americans outside the US. I would go todata protection conferences year after year where a representative from the USstate department would make these great[INAUDIBLE] and hymns of praise to thewonders of the Fourth Amendment and since it was directed to an internationalaudience I think it was reasonable to supposethat the implication was that somehow the fourth amendment was protectingeverybody in that roomWell, there was a bit of detective storyto find out that it didn’t. It starts with thea 1992 Supreme Court case called [INAUDIBLE]that isn’t quite a perfect fitfor the cloud situation but it’s sort of the best that we gotand then in 2008 there was a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courtreviewjudgment about the Protect America Actand this is the case that we nowactually know is about Yahoo. It’s called [INAUDIBLE]redacted and of course a lot of information has now been declasified and come outBut was actually Yahoo challengingthe terms of this protect America Actand the judgment came down actually just afterthe FISA 702 acts had been passed soin the unredacted parts and this is very surprising becausealmost all references to this sort of thing are actedespecially in the newly declassified [INAUDIBLE] stuff it saidthat there’s no fourth amendment protection for foreign powers reasonablybelieved to be located outside the US and furtherprobable causeas a term meaning a fifty percent likelihood that you’re guilty. A fiftypercent likelihoodthat there is sufficient evidence to show that you are the personthe police are looking for in some criminal affair. When I noticed this in 2010 and it appeared on the US court service websitefor about six months and then disappeared but fortunately been cashedby the Federation American scientiststhere was there in black and white again in the unredacted partsthis extraordinary idea that if you are a foreigner and outside the US,probable cause doesn’t become probable cause any criminalityit just becomes probable cause that you are a foreigner. And that’s the sufficient triggerto begin surveillance. So what I’m going to show you next is a little short videoclipIt’s clip primarilywith Jameel Jaffer of the American Civil Liberties Union, a very fineprivacy advocate at the forefront of challengingsome parts of this from the point to view of Americans over the past few yearsand he’s talking in front of the house judiciarysubcommittee hearing in the middle of 2012because then FISA 702 was expiringit needed to be renewed and this is howthe dialog went. Chris rock-hard squawklivesforeign targets and foreign landsI don’t think that’s the question presented by[INAUDIBLE] that’s my question! So call upwhich is right question I (laughter)Does it apply? I don’t think it does. What you say you don’t think it does. Well, in the circumstances of this statue I don’t think it does. [INAUDIBLE]Does the fourth Amendment— -I was talking about a statueDoes the Fourth Amendment apply to foreign nationals in a foreign land?It does not. Does the second amendment apply?-I don’t know the law, -The First?-but I think no. -Eight?-I think we depend on circumstances. -Women sufferage, does that apply?-No -That’s my point, they don’t. So we are not talking about surveillance of foreign nationals of foreign lands, right?-[INAUDIBLE] constitutional -[INAUDIBLE] communications-That’s my second point. So the significance of thatis that Jamil Jaffer, you know, doing the best job he couldas an advocate was really driven back against the wall to admitthat there is no constitutional protection for foreigners in foreignlandsas the charming Texas congressman put it andalso that the US Congress was laughing. They were laughing at the idea that you have privacy rights. That is the plan it’s a political debate in the USas anyone who’s followed the coverage will know. So I had a bit of a luckI was invited to joinsome academics writing a report commissioned by the European Parliamenton fighting cybercrime, protecting privacy in the cloud…Probably the reason this report was commissioned was to sort of increase thesort of cyber drumbeat of”we must have more intensive surveillance laws” but I explained all this to myacademic colleaguesand they thought it was so important they let me write the middle section ofthe reportabout all for this, pretty much the analysis I showed you and some moreand this was published inum October 2012the date’s wrong actually I should say January 2013and then of course nothing happened. Nobody reads these European parlament reports itjust sort of sat thereon the website for 2 or 3 months andI was actually done watching the renewal the FISA legislationI did they decide to do that, congressbetween Christmas and the New Year obviously So I was watching on C-span and I just gotfed up so I started calling up all the journalists thatI remembered from my own civil society days. Not much luckOffered the story to the Guardian no interest. To other British newspapers, to The Washington Post and The New York Timesno interest and then [INAUDIBLE] who of course is now working on the interceptswith Glen Greenwaldwrotes a very tight 800 word summarywhich then created a little bit of interest in the blogosphereabout 1500 tweet in a week and thenat least from Europe you know the general reaction was “how can thispossibly bepossible what on earth do we have data protection law forif this is going on?” the US blog reaction was much lessbut typically “Oh those Europeans are kind of upset that we have conspired onthem. Who’s gonna stop u?. ” and that was from a self-described Americancivil libertarian. So how did all this happen? How is it the case that thousands ofEuropean policymakers and data protection officialsall over Europe apparently didn’t understand this is happening?Well I think for almost everyone in this roomwhat I am about o say next is going to be slightly incrediblebut we as technologists understand thatif you want to encrypt data yourselfand you control the algorithm you control the implementation of the software youcontrol the keyand then you put that take you somewhere else, that’s reasonably safe but if you wantto compete with that datathe meaning of how cloud computing, you want to do useful work with that data in somebodyelse’s data center thousands of miles awaywell there is no technical way to protect that because even if the data isencrypted on disk when it passes through the CPUit has to be in plain text to do useful workbefore somebody mentions homomorphic encryption, the cryptographers I talked totell me that it’s always going to beorders of magnitude too slow for general purpose computingand amazingly as far as I can seeEuropean policymakers did not understand this. They bought a whole lotof encryption blah blah blah all from the industrythat said “Of course we protect you, it’s encrypted, isn’t it. And yes we have very good security measures and security policiesOf course it’s impossible. In fact the cloud is more secure. “But apart from thatthe general structure of thelobbying from the US government particular was that US law offersvery good protection to its citizens by the Fourth Amendment as good or betterthe many European countries which is true. Thereforedon’t worry about the US cloud. but of course you can see the fallacy. Once the data in Europe does to US jurisdiction,it’s totally vulnerable to laws like FISA 702. What was also happening from about2009 is a whole slewof what I call cloud wash. Various documents from the US mission to the EUand [INAUDIBLE] proxies State Department law firmdeeply dubious Hogan Lovells produced number referfrankly deceptive Quays I legalanalyses the pure propaganda respect for law firms like I think latest and eventhe European data protection supervisor at was making speechesat an event organized by one of the main US lobbyiststalking about using new data protection mechanisms to streamline datato the cloud and Neysa have veryinglorious role in this which I’ll come back to you and then various other daya usual suspects none of those materials are so right now but a collection of 30before snow day mentioned Faizaat all not even the original Faiza there was a lot of concern about the PatriotActbut the Patriot Act turns out not to actually bethe key point to the ability account computing soso restating what I just said is cloud mass surveillancea real risk well what we know from what’s been declassified by Satan so faris that so far the car companies have not beencosts to as it were internalizea massive islands so far it appears that they have be presented with a particularselectorI am and you will read enough about what that is vehemently got a pointbut what i want. do you think about for the futureis this problem weagree I think that you cannot protect data in cloud computingwith encryption but it’s the new forms tocloud computing platforms a service you have entirea way as writing softwarewhere as well under the hood if you like the algorithm oncethen the platform is supposed to take care stating thatin a few milliseconds from one CPUperhaps 2002 CPU’s and in fact the elasticityabout computing which is probably going to be one of the key competitiveadvantages for cloud computingin future me so imagine that you want to interceptwell you have to intercept it at the level where the day to make sensewhich could be you note somewhere in quantity software stackso it’s really not much use plugging in a deep packet inspection boxonto the cables connecting the data center because you might have to have athousandat those Dekker books on standby if the capacity of the algorithmthat’s actually running then scales onto the have many thousand CPU’syou’re going to need that much extra DPI capacityto survive it unless you use coercive powers to force the cow providerto basically build surveillance into the softwareyou build in surveillance upper teens at the necessarylevels and stack so that however that education scalesthe surveillance capacity is already there and software dayso I don’t know and it appears we have no evidence that this is being done toread abutts it seems to me the writing is on the wallthat if governments going to be wanting to survey of cloud computingsystematically they’re going to have to exercisethose sorts a palace and I guess the point i’d liketo make a 702 already provides a spoutseven if they have not be used to that extent alreadysoand I want to talk more about the Europeansite the affair and what’s been happening with European data protectionRegulation E as i think you must love you will knowthere is a new data protection regulation been hung upin I in European legislatorsfor about two years and a course discussionscontinues after snowden about what form should takeand one whole part of that regulation is concernedwith the legal means exporting EU dataoutside and particularly to the US so in the current state Protection Directivethird base pay these ways of doing ityou can get somebody’s consent you can rely on safe harboryou can formal contracts with specially approved courseswith the person you want to export the data to and then there’s also somethingnewish called binding corporate rules binding corporate rulesessentially allows us to corporation to make up their ownscouts honor charter we really will obey thisI’m will invents some sanctions on ourselves if anybody breaks the rulesand this is sanctified buy Data Protection Authorityand these were invented actually forfairly reasonable purposes if a global corporation want to do all thatHuman Resources processing in one center and thereforecollect data from all around the world to do that this was sort of the templateidea behind the BCLbut then I think very dangerously data protection authoritiesin cahoots with the big fam providers for should be a verygood idea to extend this idea binding corporate rulesto so-called data processes state a process is being and tease whichsupposedly have no decision taking powerover the day-to-day process they were just acting on instructionsfrom day to control its so somebody I’m gonna shoot idea who it ishad the brilliant idea well let’s adapts this old-fashioned PCR ideafor fairly tame hopes is to cloud computing and then we got a templatewhich can basically be the primary vehicle for legitimizingcloud computing in Europe in terms so the rough idea is Microsoft peoplewhethergets a their PCR-based certifiedonce they are certified in the new regulationthe Data Protection Authority must accept them they wouldn’t have anydiscretion as they do todayand that data can be transferred into particularly US control toutsand then all questions a massive valence just disappearinto what I call a puff audit becausearticle 29 Working Party the committee of European data protection authoritieswas so naivethat they imagines that somehow private security auditorif they’re inspected data center and I noticedroom 641 K and they said whole what’s behind the neck and I have a look intheremay be told no course you can’t in fact is classifiedinformation that you even notice that if you tell anyone about that you go tojail for espionagewell data protection authorities was a naive that they thought somehow privatesecurity auditcould detect these risks a foreign mass surveillanceso this diagram is supposed to showthe sort of risk matrix a the you take 270and on the left you gots three kinds informationcriminal law enforcement’s which probably should include most terrorismcasessome bona fide a national security which in European termswe think that this be the vital interests at the state’s and thenessentially foreign policy and political spying fornational advantage and thenall in terms the columns you have been shaky transfersand then euthanasia in the us: so the Reds ais not covered by the Fourth Amendment it’s not covered byyou data protection it’s not covered by Council of Europe Convention 108certainly not covered by the cybercrime treaty and of course it’s not covered bythe European Convention of Human Rights because the US doesn’t recognize thatso all this data for 15 or so years has been completely unprotectedwell the story moves on to have to accelerate a bitchIrish in JanuaryPresident Obama made a flagship speechto try and address these concernsand because he’s in an impossible position because the one hand he has toassure the American Peoplethat 578 in particular is no threat to Americans because its design spunforeman’sbut then at the same time he has to find somewhere reassuring the rest of theworldso what’sshe came up with was a very well written very well crafted speechbut to meet beneath the speech was a new presidential policy directivePPD 20h and suchbasically there’s a there’s a real gotchaafoot in H so footnote 9 saysthis directive is not intended to alter the rules applicable to US personsan executive order toll-free tree to tree to have to mentionFaiza or other applicable law just a brief digressionexecutive order toll-free 33 was created by reaganand essentially it is a policy directive which coversan essay activities spying entirely outside United States when youbasically just point and foreigners is no reason to believe americans involvedyou may have NSA agents infiltrating data centers in some foreign countrythat’s what you know 12:03 few she is about its policyit’s not long and was a relief map will come back to youso in other words in the small printwhen the footnote all of the reassurancesin PBD 28 all basically worthless from the point of viewestablishing any kind of a quality rights they’re still going to bediscrimination by US nationality if you’re a US personthen Ilaw enforcement authority would need a particular justified fiske orangeto not hire legal standard necessitynational to US person basically the NSA JustAnswer selectors to listI am man we had a report from the cycle privacy and civil liberties oversightboard whichessentially has no mandate to look out for theinterested non-americans at all their analysis of the situation that Americansoccupied five pages on 296and frankly I think it’s misleading tautology scrupulouschunk and I have been a vast amount of st. classification senseI am not sure which analyzed but basicallythere is this tendency that a lot of the stuff that is redacted you can tell fromthe contextthe stuff that’s redacted is about the situation upon americansso who did I woreexactly I actually I first so i cant you see charmgets metres from the Open Society Foundations way back in Jan 11ally explains a to that committeenot a source in person I what school wasmade quite an impact on them but they didn’t do anythingthey said they any fund existing ngos and they’ve done nothingin fact sources done nothing about surveillance issues in Western Europe inthe entire timeopen society foundation has be operatinganybody doubts that I also recession person in Marchas a conference I attended and he did tonightI also want private

cabinet-level the Polish state action authorityum who did nothingI and basically put one footnote my slide deckI showed him an academic article he wrote a he opposes not become the deputyyou European data protection supervisor athe Greens were very helpful and had nothing but praisefor particular outspend rough and yeah no breastsand they are straight shooters and I’m very grateful to the help they give mein September I’m2012 I have an opportunity to make speech at the European Academynor where page listings was therehis deputy now EDPs johnnie which read aI represents just me you counsel

but title in actiona different conference ideamade it he said where Feliz and then had some correspondence with the head of anAcerwho basically said they had no mandateattached to this is all excluded from their mandateby national security exemptions but then of course of two snowed inum it would seem to be politically impossible for any sir to say thatso any second cottage really rather bogusand meritorious documents sorted implyingthat they had factored in the sort of risks to that pre sidon out analysisnot take young tree I had an opportunity to make a speech to the Europeanparliament since parliamentary falling for civil libertiesin October 2012 against on silence the Portuguese d-paput up the handset may have some details pleaseand I tried to get in contact with the Polish with the Portuguese d-paand their response and thenin February 30 that was when I made the presentation hethe European Parliament report but I mentioned before Septemberand that did make an impact and immediately afterwards the lead thecommittee asked me to drafting amendments4 than you data protection regulation but I’m afraidthey were mostly ignored with diluted and then just a fortnight in MayI digi connect in charge a policy I’ve been beating them up as wellthey finally organized the forum at the office is a bitchfor europe digital Europe are essentially the trade associationfor electronics IT and software companieslargely dominated by US and UK companies and basically DG connect several pastwhen talking about this paper if you can convince those hard nosed past tensethatdigital Europe that will take you seriously I’mand basically they laughed at me just before snakeso what has beeen the EU Commission’s cow policyup today but was run by Neelie Kroes RDG connectand the official you policy document published around 2012essentially rejected the idea of trying to make any pan-europeanclouds which was sorta safe because there was no enthusiasm for MemberStatesbasically the member states didn’t really trust each other anymore in theUSnot sort of collapse the idea to the extent he was a pic seriously consideredthere was a steering board composed industry bigwigsI and then variousit’s a candy floss about trusted cloud Europe yada yadaand and then a new of the snow menugroup was set up to try and streamlinecloud contracts not rejoin that for a while until I realized it was nointerest whatsoever in drafting anything which would make surveillance harderwill build the incident the terence that just wasn’t the agenda at allit was simply about making essentially cloud less treacherous my contractualpoint of view which is useful work but nothing to do with stopping surveillanceparticularly pernicious idea is if you have aa out contract to provide athen that provider should be able to basically some contractwhat they’ve contracted with you cedric acidly so you can glue on a sub provideras a provider some fight on to that which could cause be different countriessay you have absolutely no idea a where the dataslowing and ahead possible 29today protection authorities were pushing this idea and I shoppingcriticized fashion they saidto capture you don’t understand our job is not to stallany kinda processing our job is to find legal basisto allow it to happen that is the mentalitystill in the call parts the European data protection for itso really there’s been no substantive change what so everthe EU how policy since nineteenbuttswhen you listen to speeches certainly before the new commissionok nearly cruising the beer a day you would hear it is vital that you get astrong new data protection regulations so that we can deal with all thissurveillance stuffwhich is completely falsewhat department do I will aftera may ask me for some amendments umwhen Snowden happens the Parliament for me up and saidcasper it’s all true would you like to write briefing notes for the officialEuropean Parliament Yukari which I did and as a reference to national back theslide deck and if you want to meet one thingabout all of this then I’d encourage you to read factit’s only thirty pages but I think it’s one of the best piece of work doneso of the Snowdon based either leave a committee disabilities committee wentinto a sort a perdera lockdown there was one particular politicianwho insisted on this barren a slut for the Liberal Democratshooey marvelously lost a siege the lastelection so you don’t have to worry about her anymore and not enforcingthese accounts but just luck of the draw and label certain popularbut anyway for reason for 22 pretty competent you nowessentially lieber cut itself off from all adviceany interchange really we’ve what they were cooking upwas a compromise that cooking up and say what emerged out on this Peredawas so-called possible 43aand this is a restoration a clause which was lostfrom the penultimate draw after the draft is actually published by theCommissionin 2012 what it said is thatin the case where you put some data in the cloudand then the US for example law enforcement wants to get direct accessto from thatsa can provide up well the cloud provider has got to telland get permission from the Data Protection Authorityto do that so it sets up a deliberate conflict at lawbecause you rememberif somebody had done that in respect to find the lawthere’ve been a contempt the fiske or and possiblyendanger themselves under the Espionage Act so that’s putting the company’sin a terrible terrible squeeze except well think about it on the one hand yougotcontempt the fiske orch very very powerful porchin the US and potentially espionage charges on the other hand he got finesand a very long dubious process and enforcement by very ponderous Europeandata protection authoritiesfind might get quite big and then again they might not so what she gonna chaseso it’s not a credible deterrent and I was key part of the advice andamendments not drafted for the parliamentbut they wouldn’t a fresh I one beating Obama did do is they remove these PCRprocess but it’s likely the Commission and the council and audible 29 has isthat a babywe want them put back who is this is a bit outside the scope of the talk but Iwhat to say there’s a lot more apart from this with the new take protectionregulations I’vereluctantly come to the view from having full and his mother but nap Ithat this is going to be a curse on personal freedom this is going to be anirreversible bureaucratized nation in everyday lifeI probably will skip going through all the things which are wrong here exceptjust maybethe plot point in the regulation which isgoing on four times as much textas the original direct a for 450 references to this time I thoughtprocessing processing can meet computing with tateror storing the day but as we knowbut they didn’t know in 1981 when somebody had the bright idea to munchthese two ideas togetherwe now know that you can protect stored data encryption but you can’t protectcomputer datawith encryption so this anti-regulationhis bills on conceptual sound each these 450 referencesis inherently ambiguous but it is conflicting to completelyincumbents herbal information security situationswanna which which is tractable with technology and the other whichis not that’s how messed up the datesconceptually saying to come right up to dateI article 29 Working Party came out just this month with thatopinion 51 page opinion on the whole surveillanceFang expanding from a shorter opinion they published last yearI am it’s a very muddy piece a work dayit’s really a long letter have self expel Patito by why they couldn’treasonably be expected to do anything about this todayserver they do make some interestingdefinitive statements the exemption in the EU treaties of is no possibilityto invoke the national security for the country alone in order to avoidduplicative EU lawand this is a sort of ripoffs to the carve-outin the EU treaties for national security but a course thatis the national security member states not a third countryand DPAC may suspend day to placeon their existing cuts particularly in Germanycontent but they haven’t done so so far and they’re also watching the outcomewith the Mac gems case which we have got time to talk about nowand but they also say article forty three-athis conflict have more the Commission’s ideanow put-back by the parliamentafter being lobbied away just before the publication of the originalregulation they don’t like it they say it may be a step in the right directionit’s not going to bethe solution to all problems but histhe the bombshell right at the bottomand it’s not obvious they saythat’s if there is any such a $43. 8 they don’t want the job paybasically a be the interior ministry at each country which would take thatdecision whether to approve or deny the transfernot the independent Data Protection AuthorityK they don’t want the job in other words within the city complain a lot29 they failed to reach any consensus that this problem the ForeignIntelligence Surveillance is really anything that should bedone by then make maybe have a question or two about thatarticle 29 also have AIDStheir own responsibility for this mess back in 2005in one of a working party documents dealing with all of this they saidthat one of the reasons they were inventing these PCR in contractstructureswas up so that transfers they called repeatedmass for structural which was that a code for this sort of thingprecisely because it is portents should somehow be carried outwithin these legal frameworks they’re inventing butnine years later they say exactly the oppositethey say that these instruments which they inventedshould not be the basis for these massive structuralrepetitive transfers some other words of 229 in the fullythey got this whole ball rolling in the mid 2000’s as if these preposterouslegal mechanisms could possibly contain these risksand now they contradict themselves and walk awaywith us

essentially which data flows more valuable to the USand they are two yearand he began shutting them down as in a tradingsecondly you need a long-term interview industrial policyto develop software and

thirdly we need whistleblower protectionbecause its only through it which they discouragethat we know that least for anyone is taking this seriouslynow and we don’t know that the next whistleblowers going to be altruistic asnow dayso we need to actually give them water tight asylumand probably some incentives promising reportsI actually proposed two departments that theywhistleblower should get 25 percent have any finessubcommittee exacted on a controller now that sounds an enormous amountsbut you gotta remember that person is likely to be an Americaneither somebody working for a corporation working for themfor the NSA and they’re going to need bodyguardsprotection for extraordinary rendition kidnapping back to supplant on a mod forthe rest of their livesso that’s why the incentives have to be enormous to provide a credible deterrentso the waybut I try to summarize the political situation eyes welcome to the mattercannot Tucan it is unfortunately true that most people don’t think I haveanything to hide from the government butts people votespoliticians and they have to have trust in public officials they have to trustthe public officials acting impartially in their national interests and in theircollective interest sir hownow people going tonight that that is the casebecause any politician or official in Europe now knowsthat the NSA and public GCHQ as every detail of their private lifeevery indiscretion everything rash email sent by Gmailany phone call education did you spoke to traffic analysiswell a moment of brain cell and position powerneed you nana is that private life is and perhaps their career could be ruinedwith one tabloid news story order promotion ruined if a show perhapstoo much anti-american bias and that comes the attention at the US and maketo arrange for the other guy to get promoted well how do we know that’s notgoing to happen becauseeven if it doesn’t happen we might reasonably suspectthat may happen so that is a profoundly to race if ideafor democracy but is something that we now have to deal with that we cannotdeal with it by not thinking about church and as I put together a reportthe thoughts ahead but Snowden have putin the minds the public cannot now be on Fox thank you very muchCookay we can take a powerabout 10 minutes for Q&A is so if you happen to pasture humfind a microphone preferably one of those Iand I also have a signal angel in the back and she isup she has a question yeshello casper so we have a ton of questions for you and me i seee andthey’re well are reallyexcited about your talk and I’mI just start with one socan you name three countries whose laws areequally balance and protecting its citizensas well as far in as so which countries could to bethe yeah the take as an example forlaws in europe on Germany soI think one important distinctions to make is this what has been going onin reality as we now know from citing and thenthere is what’s the law is in theory soin every European country I believe Iapart from germany the laws he calledthere’s nothing in European laws apart from germany that I discovered where itsaysif you are a French citizen or if you’re slackin citizen with your check citizenyou get better protection in respect to privacy in tonight’swhat almost every other countries laws sayis they differentiate between purely domestic communications communicationsstarting in beginningin one country and communications which crossed the borderthe backcountry so that is the way that most laws make that distinctionbutts he may say what doesn’t make a differenceyes it does for cloud computing because the stark contrast isif you have any american data in Europethen that data is equally protected by European data protection and humanrights lawan American to come over here and start taking a case to European dataprotection authorities all European courts without any trouble at allif they thought their privacy was being I’m just 25 be infringedthe converse is not true all EU data as I have demonstratedin the US you have no legal rights at all and that is the asymmetry created bycloud computingbefore thou computing the rough assumptionin the build-up in these international laws for that 50 100 years was thatterritory was roughly congress with jurisdiction what cloud computing doesis it just like those two apart and creates this fast asymmetryum Michael theirday okay so thanks for the talk of ain Germany the parliament finally decided to open up an investigationcommission after snowed revelationsand arm so day gotwitnesses from the German a. m. intelligence servicesbut not not much came out because some all the details are classified whichwhat hole is prove and the government also protects them and it appears thatsome hard intelligence services operate and some sort of room that isindependent of the law know you pointed out how in the US they would bewhat they could do with in the boundaries of the law know my questionisdo they even care or more formally putHowell I likely would you think that day50 US agencies would feel bound by the US laws at allso I think the bait they do not feel bound by the US lawsthere was a great a at John OliverThe Daily Show quick which is the amazing thing mister president is notmay be saying that you break them or the amazing thing is that you didn’t have toI am and I do think that when you read you know the texturewhat’s NSA lawyers have said and the text to the P club reports and so forththink they arein a sense legal overlay when out getting kinda BOM with thousands andthousands of pages American release butthe trouble is not it has any relevance for us it is allabout because that is the only right to exist is all about protecting rightsAmericans and the simply on our rights to findfor anybody else thank youa microphone over there pleasehi hi I have a question about but the broader jurisdiction in the area ofcloud computingI and as I’m sure you know Microsoft is challenging a ruling in the states aboutaccess to data held in the EU and i’m just wondering what your views on thatis it sorta PR snake oil or is there somethinglike a positive role that US companies can do in sort of challengingthis cycle surveillance so is a San Fran glad you asked me thatarm as you can imagine getting fired from by Microsoft for trying to warnthem about 70 toI am I do find it kind of amusing that now Microsoft is painting itselfthe champion a privacy and I’m afraid this case is not about protecting thesovereignty of European datathis is about protecting some shit Microsoft butthe short answer is the substance about cases only about the storedCommunications Actpart of the ECB 1986 nothing to any deals with criminal law enforcementso even if Microsoft one that case and actually had think I think weptbecause then I feel kinda shore of this rotten systemthat we have today but even if they won that case we do nothing to preventsurveillance under he ate of 83 of isometricits complete your fucked I will take another question from the internetso nope %uh okayam so two questions and the same directionarm the question is thatI mean the at the USare quite powerful in comparison to Europe soone of your arm examples Wars 2not give them any data anymore that they are really really wantsto have something to trade up I’mso how do you think that will work armits there any possibility that list will be the caseso what but I first started to recommending this policy a couple yearsagobut basically everyone said I was crazy and they said there is no capacity forthis in Europewe don’t have enoughthe software houses we don’t have enough people who could build investing datacenters is completely crazybut what I heard from the Commission just the two weeks agois that what they’re hearing now is actuallyEuropean providers particularly telcos a queuing upto now provide European baseddata centers and of course another constant what I saidis people should not be using open source software for securitybecause this problem actually pushing software updatesand through a software update any in security infrastructure you don’t beingable to be tasteI’m because you just don’t know what’s the update of courseopen source is no panacea butts tools like static analysis forgetting the bats at Megan’s or so much more effective them when we last hadthis debate on thirty years agosay from all points of view there is just a massive advantage now andeverybodyparticular governments switching to open source cloud computingindigenously hosted in the EU if you do that of course the NSA can still try andbreak abut if you the NSA tried to break in you can at least defend by conventionalmeansand UN essentially a totally different situation me she’s handed or that dataI wanna play each inspection 780 can’t think we’ve got time for two morequestionsin II thanks for the speechand you claim is that for aarticle 43 does not work because the asymmetrical nature of thecrime and punishment the punish mefull of afor followed it for spying is twenty years in prison et ceterabut does not apply to European citizens operating in europecertain could a article 43 not be short up by saying anyone who provides cloutup services in Europe has to happen on European city a strain onAmerican citizen working in the role of getting theinformation about this onthat the back and forth as required by article 43 and and thenthen the asymmetric asymmetric see does not exist anyway if that’s a wordfor tonight’s ideas but the problems anyone here is that it’s by no meansclear thatthe Espionage Act can only be used against American citizens Australia suchand the second point is that there isthe scope American law extends not just to us-based companies but to any companythe does business with the US so theoretically a 70 to order could be putonto deutsche telecom france telecom or whoeverbus from my experience workingin a very big corporation and now having mymy judgment his the US would notsearch 702 on European company because the whole purpose would be secrecyand I think that maybe naive but the European corporations stuff in theEuropean lawyers they would not put up with thatthey would ensure that essentially they were cries for help from their owngovernmentfrom project action churches so I thinkin practical terms is very substantially less risk for European companyeven if it is doing business in the US to be subject to this law and afraidputting responsibility just me good citizen when necessary dojand the last question dudedo you think over heredo you think there’s and near a una mccanncompany can set up a cloud hovering athats really put legally protectsthe Dec customers deter from a itssay the US legally spying on them Shawyeah I mean just use European company running free softwarephysically located in the territory of Europeand you protect that as well as you can up but not fun to make andcompany not there is no way of an American companyand something about which i’m terribly terribly sadthank you so much casperI hope bad there will be a result that is bigger than some sign in

Getting Started with Google Cloud SQL

MALE SPEAKER: Google Cloud SQL allows you to easilycreate, run, and manage MySQL databaseson Google’s infrastructure. I’m going to show you how to create a Cloud SQLdatabase, then demo how to connectto it from standard tools, and from applications runningon Compute Engine and App Engine. To get started, let’s jump over to the Cloud Console. I’ll start with selecting the Cloud SQL service,and then clicking the New Instancebutton to create a new instance. The first thing to specify is the instance ID. We’ll call this instance sample demo. We’ll leave the region set to the United States,but we could also create instances that live in the EU. Since we’re only using this instance for a demo,we’ll choose the smallest instance, d0, for our tier. And for the billing plan, we’ll go with the per useoption to be charged by the hour. This way, we’ll only pay for the databasewhen we’re actually using it. Under the options, we have the abilityto specify a specific backup window,and choose a type of replication that should be used. I’ll just go with the defaults. We’ll need an IP address for instance to connect to it,so we’ll select be Assign IP Address option. Finally, there’s the setting for specifying authorized AppEngine applications. The default App Engine app associated with this projectis currently the only authorized application. We’ll leave this as it is for now. On the right side of the page, there’sa nice summary of the current instance settings. That looks good. Let’s click the Confirm button to create the instance. We can see here that the instance is being created. Once the process of creating the instance completes,we’ll be able to check out its details,and start using it right away. Now the instance is created. Let’s select the instance, and take a look at the details. The status is running. Great. Notice that you click the Edit button to changethe settings of your database instance on the fly. For example, you could change the tier sizeif you determine that you need more or less RAM. Now that we’ve got our instance running, let’s connect to it. We can connect from any MySQL tool or application,such as Toad or MySQL Workbench. But we’ll start by using the standard MySQL command lineclient. It’s part of the MySQL community server software bundle,so once you’ve got that installed,you can start using the MySQL client. And I’ve already got it installed. At the moment, nothing has been authorizedto connect to our instance. That’s the default for maximum security. I’ll select Access Control to allow accessfrom my client machine. The first thing we’ll need is a MySQL user and password. For this demo, we’ll be connecting as the root user,so we’ll give the root user a password,and click Set to save it. Next, we’ll need to add the IP addressof the machine I’m connecting with. On a Mac or Linux machine, you can type the terminal commandifconfig to find your machine’s IP address. On a Windows machine, it’s ipconfig. Or, you can just do a Google searchfor “what is my IP address. “I’ll click on Add authorized network,enter the IP address of my machine,and click Add to authorize it. I won’t bother setting up an encrypted connection for now,but you should use it for all production databases. Now let’s jump to a terminal window to test our connection. Here’s the command I’ll run. We’ll type mysql, followed by the IP address of our Cloud SQLinstance for the host. And then the user flag set to root. And finally, the password flag without a value. When we run that, we’ll be prompted for our password. After entering the password, we are nowconnected to our Cloud SQL instance. Let’s confirm that by running a show databases query. And we get back the list the default databases includedwith MySQL. Now let’s write a script to create a databasewith a single table containing a small sample of datafrom Wikipedia. Here’s the script we’ll run. It’s just a standard MySQL script. For example, it could be a dump of an existing databaseyou want to move to the cloud. Here’s where we create the database. And here’s our use statement to select the new database. This statement creates our table with two columns specified. The remaining statements will insert datainto our newly created table. OK, let’s jump back to MySQL prompt, and run the script. The command to run the script is source,so we’ll type “source,” followed by the location of the script,and hit Enter to run it. There, our database has been created. We should now be able to run a queryto test that all our data is what we expect. We’ll run the query. Select name, size from stars, and hit Enter. And there’s our table with the data that we just inserted. Now that we’ve got some sample datain Cloud SQL, let’s look at how we can use a Google ComputeEngine instance to query Cloud SQL from a PHP page. Here’s the Cloud Console, where youcan see that I’ve already createda VM within Compute Engine. It’s already got PHP and Apache installed on it. I’ve also created a firewall within Compute Engineto allow internet requests on port 80. We could see that by going to the Network Section,and selecting our default network. Here under the firewall section, youcan see that I’ve already created a firewall named HTTP1,and it’s set up to allow traffic on port 80. Now let’s SSH into our VM, and test runninga PHP page that connects to Cloud SQL. I’ll click on my instance PHP demo to get the SSH link,and we’ll use that to SSH into the VM. And we’re on our VM. Again, we need to get the external IPaddress of this Compute Engine VMso that we can allow access to it from Cloud SWL. Back in the Cloud Console, we can copy the VM’s external IPaddress here. Then we’ll go back to the Cloud SQL’s Access Control Section,and click Add New under the authorized network section. Finally, we’ll paste in the VM’s IP address, and click Add. Now let’s go back to the terminal windowthat’s SSH’ed into our Compute Engine VM. I’ll create a new PHP page called index. php in the var/wwwdirectory where Apache is serving pages from. I’ve got the PHP code in an editor on my local machine. Here’s the connection to Cloud SQL,and here’s where we select our database. Here’s the query that will be run,and here’s where the code sends the query to Cloud SQL,and outputs the results to the page. The remainder the code is some CSS styling for the HTML,along with some JavaScript to format our numbers with commas. I’ll select all of that, and copy it, and paste it backin our index. php page, and save the file. Now we should be able to open a new browser tab,and paste in the IP address of our VM,and the file name of our new index. php page. And there is our PHP page displaying our datafrom Cloud SQL. Now what about using a web-based database managementtool, like PHP MyAdmin?Using the same Compute Engine VM,we can try this out quickly. The VM already has phpMyAdmin installed,so the only remaining thing we needto do to try out our phpMyAdmin setupis to specify the IP address of our Cloud SQL instanceas the default server. We can do that by editing the config. inc PHP configurationfile with the following command. We’ll type sudo nano, and the location of the fileto edit it. Then we’ll jump down where you can optionallyspecify the server host. Here, we can uncomment this line,and change local host to be the IP address of our Cloud SQLinstance. And we’ll close the file, and save the changes. Now we should be able to open up a new browser tab,and enter the external IP address of our VM plusphpMyAdmin. And there’s the phpMyAdmin login screen. We’ll enter root as the user name,and specify the password that we set up previouslyfor Cloud SQL in the Cloud Console. For the server choice, we’ll choose the IP addressof our Cloud SQL instance, and click Go. And we’re in. We can select our bigstars database,and then view the data in the stars table. That looks good. We can now administer our entire database from phpMyAdmin. We can see the databases, we can run SQL queries,monitor statistics, and so on, all through a web front end. Great. Now let’s take that same PHP page that we previouslyran on Compute Engine, and run it on Google App Engine. I’ve already created an App Engineapplication called Cloud SQL Sample. The next thing we’ll need to do isto authorize access to Cloud SQL from our App Engine app. Here in the Cloud SQL Access Control Settings,under the section titled Authorize App EngineApplications, we’ll click the Add New link,and then enter the app ID of our,app, and then click the Add buttonto authorize our App Engine applicationto connect to our Cloud SQL instance. Now let’s jump back to our terminal window. Here’s the PHP page that we ran on Google Compute Engine. The only modification that we haveto make for it to run on App Engineis to update the connection string. We’ll replace the Cloud SQL instance IP address withthe string :/cloudsql/ followed by our project ID,and then colon, and then the name of our Cloud SQL instance. Then I’ll set the password to be an empty string since we’vealready authorized our App Engine application’sconnection to Cloud SQL and the Cloud Console. I’ve already deployed this updated PHP page out to our AppEngine application, so now we shouldbe able to open a new browser tab,and then go to our App Engine app. And there’s our PHP page with data from Cloud SQL. Excellent. I’ve just showed you a very simple demonstrationof creating a classical database along with different waysthat you can connect to Cloud SQLto manage your databases, from standard tools,from applications running on Compute Engine,and from applications on App Engine. I’ve also show you how to use Cloud SQL as the data sourcefor your web pages. Here are a few resources that you can go to learn more. Now that you’ve seen how quickly you can get started, try it outfor yourself, and start using Cloud SQL right now. Thank you for watching.

Titanfall: Gaming with Cloud Technology

When it comes to an online, multi-player experience, the holy grail is to have your game runningon a dedicated server. Really, we needed a new way to do that, and the Cloud was kindof that inspiration moment that kind of made us all look at things and go we can probablydo something more than before, we can do something different. The entire time you’re playing, you’re connected to servers that are running on Microsoft’sAzure Cloud. You’re running around the environments, you’re able to double-jump, you’re wall running you’relike a crazy, sci-fi ninja. All that stuff’s happening in the gamespace, and it’s all happeningon these servers. It’s a lot bigger and more immersive than other multi-player games are. Titanfall wouldn’t be what it is today had it not been for the power of the Cloud. WhenI look at the future of everything, I feel like games are gonna change. They can becomemore about connecting us as players; they can bring us together, and we can make a connection together

HP Offers ‘That Cloud Thing Everyone Is Talking About’

Scott McKay: Hewlett Packard is known for their basic, affordable, no frillscomputers but that doesn’t mean they can’t keep up with the latest technology. In a press release yesterday HP said “We are excited to begin offering that cloudthing that everyone is talking about. We definitely have the cloud on ourcomputers and it is better than anyone else’s cloud. “Earlier today I sat down with HP’s spokesman Gary Klinman who said thecompany couldn’t wait to show people “How they do their cloud stuff. “Gary Klinman: We are absolutely thrilled that now people with computers or phones,both, will now be able to back things up to the cloud and that’s definitelysomething that people do and they will be doing it with HP. Scott McKay: HP is making their cloud technology the centerpiece of a major newprint and television ad campaign. Male Speaker: HP is the company I’vealways relied on so when I decided to get on my computer on the cloud which is howyou do it naturally HP was the company I chose. HP’s cloud is the perfect tool foremails, Facebook, texting, and CD ROMs. How does the cloud work?It’s so simple and intuitive I don’t need to waste your time explaining it. Scott McKay: Klinman says it isn’t surprising they’re “up on the cloud”considering they’re on the cutting edge of all the latest tech trends. Now are there any additional features? Gary Klinman: Cloud sourcing is somethingwe are having. Cloud sourcing 2. 0 – we have socialsharing, we have 4G, 5G, 6G, really all the Gs. We have app, we have all of it in the computer. Scott McKay: Despite all of their widearray of technology HP says they’re most excited about the cloud. They even let me take a peek at their design laboratory where HP engineers weretrying out some unique development techniques. So how much capacity will HP’s cloudusers have access to? Male Speaker: One thousand. Scott McKay: We’ll be watching to see if HP’s cloud push pays off. Make sure to catch he next Tech Trends when we’ll be looking at Body Dew,the popular new device that links with your iPhone to post all of your bodilyfunctions right to Facebook.

What is Cloud Storage?

Hey guys, Keaton here with TechSmartt and today we are going to be talking about thecloud. So not the clouds in the sky, but the virtual clouds that might be virtual to us. But no so virtual to the companies that host them. As there are servers for these things. So, ill be honest with you guys, when I first heard about the cloud a few years ago, I reallythought people were talking about the clouds in the sky. I was like, how is there informationstored in the sky? Are there like massive buildings, that like, go up to the sky andlike, there’s servers and stuff like that. I was genuinely puzzled, so, this is kindawhy we’re doing this video. Although you know, I understand what it is, but there seemsto be a lot of confusion regarding what the cloud is, what it does, how to access it,and some of the current options to date. So without further delay, lets go ahead and gettalking about the cloud. By definition, according to Wikipedia, Cloud storage is a model ofdata storage where the digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical storage spansmultiple servers and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hostingcompany.

What is Cloud Computing?

the you have big ideas

to streamline your business drive sales

through the roof but to get there

your ideas business apple’s business

outside always been shoots past

especially in times like these I’ll

behind each one is a world of complexity

they needed data center office space

power

cooling ban when networks servers and

storage

complicated software stack and achieved

experts install configure and run

he development testing staging

production failover environments when

there’s a problem

good luck call technical support they

don’t know

so they blame someone else hope and when

you versions come out

would upgrade but that might bring the

whole system down now

this is for one out when you multiply

these headaches across dozens or

hundreds about

its easy to see why the biggest

companies with the best IT departments

are getting the app’s they need

small businesses don’t have a chance

cloud computing is a better way to run

your business

instead of running your apt yourself

there and I shared datasets

just plug in like utility just makes it

back to get started

cost less it’s like Gmail computer

Microsoft Exchange

the Gmail gen8 servers and storage no

do you need a technical team to keep it

up and running no yet to do upgrades

no when you use any app that runs the

cloud just log in

customize it to start using it that’s

the power

cloud computing

this model is so much better is changing

the way we think about software

not just for consumer past

some be used for business at we call

this enterprise cloud computing

Co

businesses are running all kinds about

Santa Claus these days

including custom built laps why because

you can be up and running a few days

unheard up with traditional business of

they cost less because you don’t need a

paper on a people

products cities to run and it turns out

they’re more skillful more secure are

more reliable than the vast majority of

the apt out there

here’s why they’re based on an

architecture called multi-tenancy

with a multi-tenant out there is a copy

the app for each business using it

just wanna everyone shares but it’s

flexible enough for everyone to

customize for their specific needs

like a giant office building were

everyone shares the infrastructure and

services

like security each business can

customize their own office pics

this means after last the can scale up

to 10,000 users for down only a few

upgrades are taken care for you sir

Afghan security and performance

enhancements

a new features automatically now

the way you came for hot abs is also

different forget about buying service

software

here for the McLeod you don’t buy

anything at all it’s all rolled up into

a predictable monthly subscription see

only pay for what you use

finally plath don’t eat up your valuable

IT resources

singer CFL love it and you can focus on

projects that

really impact the business like 2.0

wraps I’ll computing is a simple idea

but can have a huge impact on your

bottom line
