Passing the buck to the Cloud providers

Alarming majority of organisations (69%) export full responsibility for data protection, privacy and compliance onto cloud service providers.

Veritas Technologies has published the results of a global survey spanning thirteen countries indicating that the majority of global organisations (56 per cent) operate with a cloud-first mentality when it comes to deploying new applications and managing workloads. Only one per cent of organisations reported that they will not be adopting cloud over the next two years. However, the study reveals that significant misconceptions exist on the responsibility for data management, with 69 per cent of organisations wrongfully believing data protection, data privacy and compliance are the responsibility of the cloud service provider.
