Cloud computing is now a part of standard IT infrastructure and practices for a large number of industries. Even though several enterprises readily adopt it, some businesses often hesitate to take advantage of the service. Firms often have preconceived notions because of which they are hesitant to take on cloud services.

We are here to address some common concerns regarding cloud implementation. Enterprises have multiple security concerns about moving their workloads to the cloud. Let us give you some clarity on these misconceptions:

Security Concerns

The cloud is often considered insecure by decision-makers, but that is only because they have not explored the security benefits of migrating to the cloud. Moreover, a multi-tenant cloud environment is safe as it becomes difficult for hackers to target any particular data set or company. Not to mention, a single-tenant environment provides high-quality security features that keep you safe from neighboring workloads as well.

Prone To Breaches

Any form of IT infrastructure is vulnerable to breaches. It is all about the kind of security measures you put in place to protect your cloud environment. Cloud providers follow strong data governance policies to maintain a safe environment for your workloads. Let’s not forget the monitoring aspect that keeps an eye on all data sets and operations running in the cloud.

Lacks The Safety Of Physical Infrastructure

Data is considered to be more secure when stored in a physical location. In contrast, the physical location of the data matters a lot less than accessibility and associated controls. In reality, managing physical data sets can be too cumbersome and time-consuming for IT teams. Data in the cloud is managed and protected with ease!

Maintenance Challenges

Managing and maintaining cloud infrastructure is always seen as a hectic task. But it’s not something that cannot be handled by the right cloud provider. Mission-critical workloads in the cloud thrive when you have the correct combination of management and monitoring tools incorporated into your cloud environment. Talk to your cloud provider to come up with a future-proof cloud strategy. It is not hard; it is all about dedicated planning.
