Addressing cloud security challenges

The global health crisis has accelerated the adoption of cloud computing among companies and organizations. With employees working remotely and business customers and consumers using apps in their everyday lives, more and more organizations are using cloud computing for their applications or as their platform and data storage.

In fact, worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow by 18.4 percent in 2021 to $304.9 billion, according to a Gartner report. The main reasons for this are for business resilience (i.e., flexible computing power, high availability, disaster recovery, and lower cost for backups), business continuity for remote work, healthcare applications, and online education.
