For many companies, the first obstacle to the adoption of Cloud relates to the security of their information. The latest report from the Ponemon Institute causes trouble by showing the lack of interest by suppliers Cloud to these problems. The study focused on 127 cloud services providers including 123 U.S.
and 24 in Europe. In its report, sponsored by CA Technologies, Ponemon highlights the profound differences of view between Cloud providers and their customers. Indeed, over three-quarters of providers (79%) spend less than 10% of their technical staff for enforcement duties and security.
Behavior when all logic when we know that less than 20% of service providers (USA and Europe) view security as a competitive advantage. Worse still, less than 30% of the providers see it as an important responsibility. In a similar vein, 69% of providers believe that Cloud the Cloud security is primarily the responsibility of users (an opinion not shared by 35% of users Cloud).
That does not reassure the 68% of users who feel that their intellectual property is too sensitive to be exposed in the cloud. To Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of Ponemon Institute, "users should be aware that it is their responsibility to assess the risks before starting any migration into the cloud.
They must carefully assess their potential suppliers and their applications and infrastructure, to assess the ability of data protection. Finally, users and suppliers must make it their joint responsibility to create a secure environment for information processing. "The complete study is to see here.
