Make sure to consider Security when Engaging with Cloud Computing Companies

A report by the Central Statistic Office (CSO) has shown that 36% of Irish companies employing 10+ purchased cloud computing services in 2016. This number is expected to rise dramatically in 2017 as smaller to mid-sized companies take advantage of the scalability and cost savings and increased staff efficiencies that cloud computing services have to offer.

The most effective method to move to the cloud is to engage with a cloud computing company who are specialists that can design, implement and support the cloud infrastructure that best fits your business model. 

As infrastructure evolves so must the security solutions that protect that infrastructure from cyber-attack. If existing security layers aren’t able to scale and flex with the new agile public, private and hybrid cloud environments vulnerabilities in protection will develop.
