Google erläutert Datensicherheit

March 10th, 2008

Längst gehören Google-Produkte wie Gmail, Picasa, Blogger, Docs, etc. zum Leben eines Webbewohners. Häufig stellt man sich die Fragen, was passiert eigentlich mit meinen Daten. Wie werden sie gehalten? Wie sicher sind sie?

• People
  …Google employs some of the best and brightest security engineers in the world.
