The use of cloud based services is growing across many business sectors. The benefits being cited by companies for switching include cost savings and flexibility.
As a developing technology, some businesses have concerns around cloud security. The IT Security benefits that come with cloud computing are having a positive effect on businesses opting to use them. 32% of respondents in a report carried by Bloor Research state that security is an influence on their choice to use cloud computing. The report highlighted a number of areas in which cloud computing can bring benefits to businesses, such as business continuity management and disaster recovery. Through the use of cloud based services the providers guarantee sufficient online backup resources and have processes in place in the event of an outage. The report also cites that the cloud is an ideal way for businesses to gain access to more advanced IT Security services such as scanning and monitoring of activity for vulnerabilities. This can include monitoring traffic flow and bandwidth for such exploits as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that aim at making such services unavailable.
