For a long time, the cloud was considered the “wave of the future.” But the future has arrived. A great cloud storage solution not only allows your employees access to files anytime, anywhere—it also makes it simple to sync files, work on the go and share and coauthor documents with ease. But more than 50 percent of organizations find cloud storage to be the riskiest cloud app category.
A big reason for that? Security threats. Despite all the data out there showing the cloud to be just as or more secure as on-premises storage, security remains the top barrier to cloud adoption, according to the Cloud Security Alliance. That’s why cloud security is one of the top concerns for providers—and why they spend so much capital making sure their products are secure. In fact, by 2019, the global cloud security market alone will have reached an estimated $8.71 billion.
Still, not all cloud storage providers are created equal, especially when it comes to security. Even though it’s important to get a “good deal” on your enterprise cloud solution, it’s more important to ensure the security of your data. When researching cloud storage providers, be on the lookout for those that exhibit the following red flags—and avoid them like the plague:
There is no one-size-fits-all cloud storage solution. Every organization has different needs, and these needs should be reflected in your choice of an enterprise cloud provider. Whatever your solution and whoever your provider, though, security should remain at the top of your list of considerations.
