	Cloud Backlash: You Can't Call The Whole Thing Off I am privileged to co-chair the SDForum Cloud Services SIG.

Secure Web gateways: slamming the door on malware The Web has become the new security battle front, surpassing even e-mail as the leading source of malware infections.

And Gartner Group estimates that 75% of enterprises will be infected this year with targeted malware that evades their traditional defenses. Why?
