Lack of security strategies hampering cloud implementations

BUSINESSES must put in place cyber-security strategy amid an escalation of hackers and perpetrators of ransomware attacks.This is according to an industry executive as private, public and hybrid cloud solutions grow in popularity and the shift to cloud apps make migration easier for businesses.While cloud computing has proven that it is a better option than in-house servers, security challenges remain a concern. It is evident that companies are still experiencing common security challenges such as backup and disaster recovery (DR) failures, internet service providers (ISPs) being hacked or ransomware attacks,” said Christian Mahncke, Enterprise Business Development at Routed, the vendor neutral cloud infrastructure provider.
