By Carmi Levy, BetanewsI've decided I won't be part of the 100,000 or so special folks who are already rolling up their sleeves and digging into the guts of Google's newest uber-desirable online application, the private beta of Google Wave. This will give some poor fellow extra opportunity to troll eBay, bidding $100 or so (Read More)
: Reposting my long-winded reply to this article, regarding corporate security:
I think that a corporate implementation of Google Wave could potentially be more secure than current corporate email environments, assuming some sort of access level control is implemented on the server. Remember, it is an open and federated protocol and the source code has already been released for a basic server. Eventually, you'll see the open source server mature into a production-ready product much like Apache or MySQL or other mature open source servers.
In today's world, it is easy for someone to simply forward private corporate documents to those outside the company, when doing so may violate corporate policy. It isn't that people do this with malicious or even conscious intent to violate those policies, it's just that it's easy to do. Because waves are contained and centralized, it is not as easy to unknowingly dissipate private corporate information.
If an employee needs to share information from the wave to someone externally, it is unlikely the external individual will be invited into the wave. Security measures would probably be implemented to disallow this in any case, just as firewalls prevent others from entering the secure network or accessing email servers externally. The wave server could implement sort of facility to allow an employee to s*** data out of the repository (as you put it) and share it with an external resource.
Keep in mind that the fact that it is a federated protocol and open source servers/clients will be developed means that corporations will be running their own server instances. It is very unlikely they will be using Google's servers or the Google Wave client to access the information. This will be very much the same how most corporations run their own email servers today, and do not use Gmail to implement corporate email.
I do agree it may be some time before such a tool is embraced by corporations. It even took tim
