Given the compliance and audit capabilities lacking in most cloud apps, we expect third-party security technology will be required to help close this gap.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Accenture report on cloud computing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accenture.com\/us-en\/Pages\/insight-cloud-federal-government.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">A report by Accenture<\/a> earlier in the year, found that cloud adoption across federal government agencies is also lagging. \u00a0Only five percent of agencies with cloud migration plans were able to complete them. \u00a0Agencies cite lack of cloud skills and the government&#8217;s lengthy procurement process as major problems.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
