Cloud Computing and Security: Enterprises Do an About-Face and Embrace Public Cloud
Over the last few years the majority of businesses have done an about face on their thinking about the public cloud. Security fears had led many to pursue implementing of private cloud infrastructure. A new report from Intel Security says that now more than 2-to-1 say that they have trust in public cloud computing.
That report also found that:
- 62 percent of businesses are storing sensitive customer data in the cloud
- Despite the public cloud on its own being considered safe, 65 percent say that shadow IT cloud usage is a security threat
- 49 percent say that cloud adoption is being slowed by a lack of cybersecurity skills
Raj Samani, EMEA chief technology officer at Intel Security, said that “the ‘Cloud First’ strategy is now well and truly ensconced into the architecture of many organizations across the world. The desire to move quickly toward cloud computing appears to be on the agenda for most organizations. This year, the average time before respondents thought their IT budgets would be 80 percent cloud-based was 15 months, indicating that Cloud First for many companies is progressing and remains the objective.”
Samani said “look at one of the tenets of cloud: on demand self-service. You have multiple departments now almost in competition with IT, saying ‘Well, you’re telling me that it’s going to take six weeks to get this server up, but I can get it up and running in Azure in 15 minutes.’”
