infrastructure. It’s inexpensive, it’s
easy to access, it doesn’t require
maintaining your own hardware, and
you’ve got experts on-call if there’s
ever an issue.
The big issue, of course, is se-
curity and privacy. When a company
is handing over its data to another
business for handling, it’s cause for
some worry. In fact, survey respon-
dents said that adoption of public
cloud computing in their organiza-
tions is a top security worry: a full
81 percent expressed concern over
public cloud usage, with 49 percent
being extremely or very concerned.
While greater efficiency and agility
were reasons given for driving cloud
adoption, enterprises of all sizes cited
cloud security as their top concern.
This highlights the fact that in the
cloud, organizations desire compre-
hensive threat prevention as well as
email security, web security, application
security, data protection – all the mea-
sures that organizations use to protect
their traditional on-premises networks.
“Organizations are adopting
cloud in droves, and they’re re-
ally taking the rapidly expanding
approach to how they’re bringing
cloud online,” said Donald Meyer,
head of marketing for data center
and cloud at Check Point. “They’re
moving from capex to opex models,
which is very attractive. But 81 per-
cent are concerned about security.
We’ve got to think about that shared
responsibility model that a lot of
public clouds operate with. Their
infrastructure is agile and mature
and secure, but when you take your
own slice of that, you have to have
your own security to filter out what
you want and don’t want in that en-
vironment. So businesses need to
port over their legacy security into
a highly elastic, dynamic environ-
ment, where things move from place
to place, and it’s not physically tied
down. We have to rethink security
and how we do it as we move into
this virtual space.”
