Businesses want to move to the cloud, they really do. And more than ever, they’re starting to make the switch:A Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) study that polled more than 200 IT professionals found that 71.2 percent of companies now have a formal process for users to request new cloud services.
That CSA study also found that nearly two-thirds of IT professionals trust the security of cloud computing equally or even more than their on-premise systems. About a third of respondents cited better security capabilities to be a benefit of the cloud. However, almost 68 percent of respondents noted the ability to enforce their corporate security policies remains a barrier to cloud adoption.
