For example, I do my banking and bill paying online. They have far more sensitive information than my photos, and yet I trust them with that information because 1) i assume that they have levels of security in place, and 2) i want the convenience and accessibility. In the case of PhotoShelter's security, we have numerous safeguards surrounding the data starting with physical security at our data centers, to firewalls, to expirations of your login sessions. Ultimately, online security is most easily accomplished by the user simply choosing a hardened password, and changing it with some regularity. A malicious person is much more likely to get into your account because you have a crackable password, than they are to get into our back-end systems.

I'm with you 100% about on-line storage becoming the preferred method of storage. However, when I choose to store my files on portable media I alone have access and control over the files. Can you address the safeguards that are in place preventing the wrong people getting access to our files. This is, and will be a major concern for many established photographers with valuable archives. Excellent points Allen.
