Enterprise Security Services -- Concerns about the Cloud
November 14, 2012
A third of enterprises place highly sensitive data in the public cloud, despite serious concerns regarding cloud security and single sign-on capabilities.
It wasn’t long ago that “cloud computing” was a marketing term being thrown around. And now? There’s been a marked shift towards cloud-based services. Research firm Gartner recently predicted that the market will grow 19.6 percent to $109 billion by the end of this year.
Big Data Is…. Big! It also poses big risks and big opportunities.
As you know, there has been a lot written lately about cloud computing, and due to the platform’s design, cloud computing security. Securing the cloud is the work of technical experts at places like Google, Amazon, NSA and the DOD. And that cloud is being secured more each minute through both better procurement policy and technology.
New guidelines, expected today from an E.U. panel on privacy, will give strong recommendations to European governments on whether to and how to adopt cloud computing.
The role of cloud-based services is being increasingly accepted and adopted by users in all parts of life. Cloud-based software is provided as a service over the Internet, typically on a subscription basis.
