Many years ago, cloud computing rolled onto the enterprise scene, hopefully, a new way of computing supporting an organization’s infrastructure, running applications.

It’s been long, hard lumber to receive, but the same word is educated recently just as regularly as it did all those years ago: security.

Strongly internet-based services rose almost entirely side by side with a whole new world of threats to enterprise data. The outcome was an association that does not come without the other – and an irrational fear among IT leaders.

In a new study of IT, decision-makers by BT, half (49%) admitted they are ‘more anxious’ about the security indicate of cloud services – an increase of 10% from BT’s previous research conducting in 2012.

More than three areas of the respondents (76%) said that security is their main concern in cloud-based services, and – most severely – 41% believed that all cloud-based services are ‘inherently insecure.’

The iCloud hack, they find the private images of celebrities leaked online, was maybe the most high-profile cloud hack of 2014 because of its impact on the general public. This resulted in all-around news observed around the risks of using the cloud, which has continued to lift questions around other cloud-based services.

One of the main concerns for organizations is that information stored in the cloud is out of its command. It could invest in the top security tools and have the most complex authentication, but if the cloud platform isn’t secure, it is still at risk.

Cloud security is a shared authority. Customers need to know what the cloud service provider will address and what they will address to protect their assets. CSPs must be allowed to scale the “best of breed” security ability for all their customers regardless of industry.’

Robust cloud security increase data protection

Businesses should stop thinking about the physical location of their data and focus more on the security check-in place to protect who can access the data, which businesses will do to a certain enlarge within their own IT environment. However, as mentioned, with business and character to uphold, cloud providers will spend a small fortune on a wide array of different security solutions to protect their services, such as Web Application Firewalls, DDoS protection, access permission Management, Patch Management, and infraction Preventions Systems.
