2015 7 Big Cloud Safety forecast

Ongoing data leaks are shaking confidence among businesses and consumers, as well as increasing security discussions in cloud computing. Rapid cloud computing deployments require organizations to protect sensitive data while maintaining application functionality. So what trends will drive the market in the coming months? Let's take a look at the 2015-year trend in the cloud security market:

1. Evolution of the private cloud

Public clouds have always been a popular choice when companies try to harness the control, customization, and other advantages provided by cloud computing. However, the hybrid cloud approach will become the norm as companies move more operations and projects to cloud computing. Using the hybrid cloud approach will enable the enterprise to achieve the most cost-effective operations. The new hybrid cloud will also take shape, for example, when SaaS applications are delivered through a multi-tenant public cloud infrastructure, allowing data to be stored locally in a hybrid approach.

2. Cloud data "regulation" will affect the jurisdiction law

As national States continue to enforce regulation, the laws of jurisdiction and data sovereignty will become more complex and rigorous. We are seeing Microsoft data jurisdiction, the US is trying to find data on Microsoft's overseas database, and we will see something similar in 2015. At the same time, more and more stringent data jurisdictions will emerge. To securely comply with data privacy and jurisdictional laws, both the business and business-to-business Enterprises will continue to choose data tokens as the preferred data protection technology.

3. Cloud data will contain "real" enterprise data

The leaked data will include not only customer data (such as contact information and payment information), but also intellectual property and trade confidential information. Although it is troublesome for users to change their cards after a data leak, imagine what would happen if a company's valuable product design strategy or takeover plan were compromised? An enterprise must deploy a viable cloud security protocol.

4. Content and applications will be given priority by mobility

We live in a moving world where data streams bypass desktops and are processed and stored exclusively on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. As more and more enterprises allow their employees to carry their own devices, the theft and loss of these devices will not be the only concern of the enterprise, as mobile data will be moved more into cloud computing. For example, the incident involving celebrity photo icloud leaked headlines in 2014. In 2015, companies will need to ensure that corporate data in mobile devices and cloud computing is not overexposed.

5. Flexibility will be the main driver of cloud computing deployment

As the flexibility of cloud computing becomes more visible to businesses, they will realize the importance of this advantage even beyond the cost advantage of cloud computing. The ability to expand and develop will be a major consideration for companies to choose cloud computing applications without generating additional costs (+ micro-credit focus on the Web world).

6. Cloud computing deployments and changing CASB solutions will redraw it safety thread

Thanks to new technology and development and evolving cloud access Security agent (CASB) solutions, businesses will redefine which applications and operational business use cases are compatible with cloud computing. Companies will be more active in using cloud computing, even in areas unimaginable a few years ago. This means that the data in the cloud will require constant protection. The industry will see data tokens as the primary protection method. Because threat defense will encapsulate cloud computing applications and infrastructure, CASB investment will become a common part of cloud computing investment, and Gartner even predicts that by 2017 they will be an important part of SaaS deployments.

7. Leakage accident insurance will become the normal

Data leaks will continue to occur, forcing companies to look to the internet for "insurance". For many risk professionals, this is no longer a question of whether company data will leak, but when. It is essential to deploy specific defenses to mitigate risk in the event of a data disclosure incident. At the same time, the use of all applicable security measures to reduce network risk will become a corporate battle slogan.

When we expect these predictions to come true, the reality is that cloud computing will continue to grow in 2015. Companies must understand the key role of security in taking full advantage of cloud computing.
