Trust and risk in the cloud

Robko

Risk or cold feet

Yes, risk is an issue, but with the right risk policy and data protection plan you can choose the right provider for your services. And there you find where the cold feet come from. Internally we still have the benefit of being on premise, so every mistake is shrouded from external viewers.

Once out in the open we will have to adhere to the rules and regulations of the SAAS hoster. And if they are less strict then we need, it might cause some problems when failing.

To put it simple, if you know what you need, you can find it in the cloud, and in my experience i have not seen to many companies that know what they need.
