Cloud computing is not secure? 43% questioned by companies surveyed

Cloud services are not safe. Most companies already feel the data security problems that cloud computing can bring. A recent Global Cloud computing security survey by trend Technology says nearly half (43%) of corporate IT decision-makers say they have had security lapses or security problems in their cloud computing service providers over the past 12 months. The global survey of 1200 It decision makers in the US, UK, Germany, India, Canada and Japan found that it policymakers remain uneasy and sceptical about the adoption of cloud computing technology by companies. The survey confirms that companies as a whole are adopting cloud technology at a rapid pace, and it has also set off a wave of huge, continuously multiplying new deployments. While only 10% per cent of respondents said they had already applied cloud computing to production, nearly half said they were under construction or were testing new cloud computing technologies. While cloud computing penetration is growing in most countries, many companies still don't know what cloud computing services are. In the survey, trend technology asked respondents to read the cloud computing Services list, and 93% of respondents said that at least one of the services in the list had been used. But 7% said the company didn't have any plans to adopt any cloud computing services. As you can see, there are still some users who are unable to identify the cloud services they are using. "According to trend technology, cloud applications will increase by about five times times over the next few years, but 43% of existing cloud service users have had information security incidents last year," said Dave Asprey, vice president of trend Technology cloud security. Not only that, some respondents did not even know that they were using cloud technology, let alone paying attention to the security issues of cloud services. Since many cloud service providers do not invest enough IT resources in security, protecting the enterprise's cloud environment is no longer an option, but a priority for IT staff. "Cloud security will affect the effectiveness and availability of cloud services" according to the survey, respondents considered that the two main barriers to the popularity of cloud computing services were: data or cloud infrastructure security (50%), and cloud services efficiency and availability (48%). While security is a major obstacle to the spread of cloud computing, there are growing numbers of companies who believe that cloud services have achieved performance and availability comparable to traditional applications. "In the past, doubts about the security of information storage were the biggest obstacle to the popularity of the cloud," says Asprey. But now, efficiency and availability are equally influential for IT decision-makers. "Cloud data security key in encryption" to protect sensitive information in the cloud, businesses rely on encryption. 85% of respondents said their data stored in the cloud would be encrypted. And more than half of the respondents said they would give priority to cloud service providers that already provide cryptographic services for data storage devices before taking full advantage of cloud services. But even so, the current cryptographic key management technology used by cloud services is still not mature enough to have many weaknesses。 Using principle Key Management, cloud data is the first to be published last year the trend of the technology cloud security platform adopts a strategy-oriented key management mechanism to match industry standard encryption technology, enabling enterprises to control the data stored in the shared cloud, private cloud, or mixed cloud environment. The product eliminates the risk of data security, privacy, and regulation that can be put into the cloud environment. Cloud security technology enables organizations to safely and easily use private or public cloud environments without having to install complex security facilities and infrastructures to protect sensitive information. Trend science and technology to protect enterprises towards the cloud road trend technology at all costs, for the cloud and virtual environment to develop a series of multi-level protection system. In addition to cloud security, there are trends to prevent data theft, business disruption, and regulatory compliance issues Deep security products, providing a perfect server protection for virtualized data centers. Deep Security's latest edition provides agentless malware protection, virtualization awareness and the ability to use the latest VMware APIs to provide stronger server protection against data leaks and regulatory issues. "Regardless of where the cloud is progressing, trend technology can provide security protection," says Asprey. Our security solution Integration Suite is unique because it is more efficient in the cloud and virtual environment than competitor products. And through the policy-oriented cryptographic key Management service, whether the data stored in the physical server, virtual environment, or public cloud, can ensure data security. "Cloud computing security issues to the end of the discussion, cloud development and other things, are both positive and negative, I hope that we pay more attention to this aspect of content."
