OK, I know we have a love hate relationship with ISC2, but they put opuur a cloud security paper, and it is really good.

Google is now explicitly suggesting that developers encrypt data used by their applications, on the device.

Lots of Google today.  Their security team has a good whitepaper on malicious document detection.

Finally, if you aren't getting Violet Blue's weekly security roundup, you are missing out.  Lots of good stuff.
