CLOUD COMPUTING-Lakshman Narayanaswamy, Sanovi Technologies
CLOUD COMPUTING
It can be said without a shadow of doubt that transition of cloud computing from being the latest industry buzz word to an accepted operational expenditure is nearing completion. Cloud has emerged as an IT service that businesses, both enterprises and SMBs, have already adopted or are in the process of evaluating its adoption. The adoption of cloud computing by SMEs is also increasing at a greater pace. According to a survey, it has been found that the number of companies with 10 or fewer employees adopting paid cloud services will triple in the next three years.
Concerns around understanding security requirements for cloud services are top of the mind for nearly half of business and technology executives in India. More than half of those surveyed also indicated that they are concerned about how to secure and consume big data.
However, for all the benefits cloud computing provides, it cannot be said to have foolproof security. The very nature of cloud makes it more accessible to more people. And therein lies the danger as well.
A private cloud environment can be protected from impending threats by using intrusion detection software and firewalls. However, it becomes all the more trickier when it comes to securing SaaS and IaaS solutions hosted in the public cloud.
