The enterprise needs to improve the security protection of data
2012 Small and medium-sized enterprises will be more focused on the cloud computing, with the small and medium-sized enterprises on cloud computing concern, the security problems of cloud computing has again aroused people's attention, About 35% of people surveyed by Itbusiness.ca, a science and technology news site in Toronto in September 2011, showed that the biggest concern for cloud computing remained security issues.
Most cloud providers today have the software services they need to run cloud computing on their servers and provide a complete application in which the vendor ensures that the customer's cloud services are secure.

Customers must also be more secure, actively looking for possible defensive holes, and ensure that the backup disk is encrypted before leaving the supplier.
Cloud threatens to climb every year
Regardless of the security of the cloud service provider, remote cloud computing means that the data is based on the business and services between a public network, so if you are transmitting sensitive data, it should be encrypted at the time of transmission. Another benefit of data backup is that when cloud providers terminate service delivery, the need to cloud computing in insecure situations ensures that you can back up your data.

"Criminals in cyber-crime will be more complex than real-life crimes," said Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the network.
Summary
The threat of cloud computing in the 2012 remains, and hackers ' ongoing attacks have increased the cost of maintaining cloud computing, and it is still a big test of 2012 for cloud computing to be able to save costs while protecting the security.
