Keeping The Cloud Safe: Exclusive Report
IT managers claim that it sometimes difficult to keep their business applications and data safe in the Cloud, and many are slowing Cloud adoption because of this issue but they are also doing this because of some other internal reasons.
That is the finding of our Cloud Security Report (£) which used responses from over 3000 IT and Business professionals in thirty-four different countries.
Often the problems are not with Cloud Security itself, but also because businesses often had a lack of Cyber Security personnel and skills. Both of these issues was high on the security list.
Our research also showed that 52% of IT professionals said they have slowed Cloud adoption because of this lack of cybersecurity skills, and 67% say that Shadow IT (where businesses are using the Cloud without involving their internal IT staff and management) is interfering with keeping the Cloud safe and secure.
However, there is another work related issue that is often reflected in our interview process. This is where many IT professionals are wary of the Cloud as it might mean loss of internal jobs and a downgrading of their IT business prominence.
