FTC seeks comments on cloud companies' impact on financial services, healthcare and other key industries. The business practices of "a small handful of cloud service providers" are under scrutiny at the Federal Trade Commission, including the firms' market power, impact on competition and potential cybersecurity risks, according to a request for information the commission issued Wednesday.
From a cyber perspective, the FTC wants to know:
-
The extent to which cloud providers identify and notify their customers of security risks related to security design, implementation or configuration
-
The extent to which cloud providers compete on their ability to provide secure storage for customer data
-
The ability of cloud customers to negotiate their contracts with cloud providers or are experiencing take-it-or-leave it standard contracts
-
The public has until May 22 to weigh in.
