How Providers and End Users Can Secure Clouds

[relemedf5w023]

There has been a sharp increase in the use of cloud technologies, partly due to the Covid -19 pandemic. Experts interviewed by Information Age told how organizations and providers can ensure cloud security.

Clouds were already widely used before the pandemic. Regardless of their size or industry, companies saw the benefits of a virtual resource model for their services. But cloud security was often seen as an afterthought.

Following the global lockdown, the move to the cloud accelerated as organizations sought to empower their workforce and maintain high levels of customer service.

A recent study by Aptum found that since the china whatsapp data began, over a third (38%) of companies are using cloud technology to scale infrastructure to meet demand and control costs. And nearly half (48%) are using cloud solutions to deliver critical services to end users.

Additionally, 76% of respondents reported using cloud services to enable remote work, and 92% expressed confidence in their companies' business continuity thanks to managed cloud services.

As organizations embrace the cloud at an ever-increasing rate and its importance to their survival, companies must now ask themselves how to ensure cloud security. Both cloud providers and end users must now take this issue more seriously.

Here are five experts' thoughts on cloud security for remote work.
