The huge popularity of cloud services has seen organisations outsource applications, data and infrastructure to third party providers with the result that security perimeters have widened significantly. This has brought with it unwanted attention from cybercriminals, not only because cloud offers a potential route into corporate IT networks, but also due to the scope to evade detection from traditional security solutions. By Anurag Kahol, CTO at Bitglass.

The word ‘cloud’ now has two very different meanings for most people. Even those unfamiliar with the full potential of cloud computing and storage are likely benefitting from this technology on a daily basis. Few people still have a physical DVD or CD collection - instead we use on-demand streaming services for our entertainment. We have quickly become used to the limitless choice of music or films, stored away for us out of sight. So whether we fully understand it or not, we are all well aware of the benefits brought by the cloud to our everyday lives. By Rob Sinfield, VP, Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management.

While there’s a general shift towards the cloud, when it comes to ERP many businesses are still reluctant. There’s still a misconception that the switch can be an overwhelming task that will be disruptive and costly for business processes. Indeed, a report from Gartner found that companies without a plan in place for managing the transition away from on-premise systems are sinking considerable sums, without enjoying the benefits. The good news is that with the right strategy and vendor, the switch doesn’t have to be an exhausting process. By Andres Richter, CEO Priority Software.

Research suggests that 7 out of 10 businesses are moving to the cloud. And it’s hardly a surprise. Cloud offers both the flexibility and scalability to manage huge workloads from dispersed locations around the world. The exponential growth of managed service providers (MSPs) – companies that remotely manage a customer’s IT infrastructure and/or their end user systems – has been pivotal in helping cloud computing become the business-critical asset it is today, easing the strain on businesses looking for the most agile IT solutions.

The cloud services industry is growing at a breakneck pace. A recent industry projection puts the public cloud market on a growth trajectory of 17.5 percent this year to $214.3 billion, up from $182.4 billion in 2018. For an industry that is growing at this pace, I cannot help but wonder why there are still high levels of concern amongst consumers about the cloud - 60 percent of SMEs in the UK feel that their cloud services are not as secure as they should be. This statistic came from a recent Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) report and in light of the scale of cloud adoption deserves further exploration. By Chris Burden, Chief Commercial Officer at Memset.
