Security is THE biggest inhibitor of Cloud adoption. Most CIOs/CISOs are skeptical (and rightfully so) about putting their organizations’ data on the Cloud.
The Cloud is an attractive target for hackers as any breach could have a big pay off due to a large number of organizations getting compromised at the same time.
MOST SURVEYS SHOW SECURITY CONCERNS AS #1 INHIBITOR OF CLOUD ADOPTION
SHOULD YOU AVOID THE CLOUD?
Realistically, you can avoid the Cloud at you own peril. The agility, flexibility and scalability offered by the Cloud gives organizations of all sizes a crucial edge in the market.
Organizations can Go To Market quickly to cash in on the window of opportunity that may otherwise be lost due to the slow implementation of IT infrastructure needed to support your idea.
SO WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
Security should be an important consideration at every stage of Cloud adoption rather than an afterthought. We recommend a holistic approach to security in the Cloud. Some of the key security aspects you should consider when contemplating Cloud adoption include:
– What is confidentiality level of the data that you plan to move to the Cloud?
– Are there any regulatory mandates that must be considered?
– What Cloud service and deployment model is best suited for your requirements?
– What security features does the Cloud Service Provider offer?
– Does your IT team have necessary Cloud security skills to understand and mitigate Cloud risks?
– Does the SLA offered by the Cloud Service Provider address your concerns?
