From the macro viewpoint, internal data
that is now confined to one company, as in the
DAR, DIM, and DIU scenarios, will enter a world
that includes the DIC scenario having multiple
Clouds of different types. It will therefore be
necessary to have a policy that provides metadata
that describes how information is to be handled
and a mechanism that enables information itself
to ensure that the policy is applied to it. In this
way, information itself will be able to ensure
that it is handled according to a consistent policy
regardless of whether it is located within a
company or in the Cloud. We are entering an era
that calls for a new form of information-centric
security that will enable a consistent policy
that includes the DIC scenario to be applied to
information.
