France Clears Microsoft and Google’s Cloud Technology for Sensitive Data
France has decided Google and Microsoft’s cloud technology can be used for sensitive data with caveats.
As cloud computing becomes more important to organizations around the globe, there is a growing concern about the risk of US surveillance of cloud data. The EU, in particular, has increasingly looked with suspicion and distrust at US providers.
France appears to have come up with a solution, clearing Microsoft and Google’s technology for use in sensitive applications, according to
Reuters. France will allow the companies’ technology to be used as part of a homegrown solution, as long as the servers are operated on EU soil and the companies storing and processing the data are European-owned.
