Cloud Services are rapidly being adopted by most businesses today. According to IDC, the worldwide public cloud services market reached $45.7 billion in 2013 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% through 2018. Cloud Security is an important consideration for businesses migrating to the Cloud. So, what are the top security concerns businesses face?<\/p>\n<h1 dir=\"ltr\">Top Cloud Security Concerns<\/h1>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">CompTIA\u2019s Ninth Annual Information Security Trends study identified system downtime\/business interruptions, exposure or loss of data during file transfers to the cloud, and concerns over encryption of data (either transactional or at rest) as the top three issues identified by business owners and IT Professionals. In addition, respondents raised concern over complying with legal\/regulatory requirements. What can a business owner do to migrate securely to the Cloud?<\/p>\n<h1 dir=\"ltr\">Cloud Security and Compliance<\/h1>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most experts agree, start by understanding your Cloud Security requirements. If you have regulatory requirements, a Private Cloud solution may make it easier to comply with standards including HIPAA and PCI. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you are more secure. Beyond encryption, having a solid strategy for using the technology in your organization is a key factor in Cloud Security.<\/p>\n<h1 dir=\"ltr\">Employees: Key to Tackling Cloud Security<\/h1>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Your employees may be your biggest threat to Cloud Security. Without the proper training, your employees may access your company\u2019s Cloud Services from unsecure devices. This could cause security breaches and data leaks of privacy information. What\u2019s more, it is important to control the adoption of Cloud Services within your business to help mitigate Cloud Security risks. Proper policy, training, and guidelines create awareness and educate your employees about Cloud Security Risks.<\/p>\n<h1 dir=\"ltr\">Other Cloud Security Factors<\/h1>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">IoT (Internet of Things) presents a new risk to Cloud Security. Smart devices including TVs, appliances, office equipment, and other devices that collect and transmit data across the Internet, can cause exposure to your overall security. Research firm Gartner predicts that the IoT market will grow to 26 billion units installed by 2020. Proper network security and encryption is a first step in reducing this emerging security risk.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Migrating to Cloud Services provides many benefits to business of all sizes. Making the leap to Cloud Computing can be done securely with the proper planning &amp; guidance.
