IT People Still Hazy About Clouds, Study Says
If you don’t have a grip on cloud services and security in your organization, you are not alone, according to a study published today. According to a survey conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored by CA, more than 50 percent of respondents in the U.S. say their organization is unaware of all the cloud services deployed in their enterprise today.
“Cloud computing applications hold a great deal of promise for organizations, but regarding their adoption as a fait accompli and expecting IT to accommodate their use is an approach fraught with risk,” Ponemon says.
While some organizations might be pushing ahead with cloud implementations, however, some are drawing the line at their most sensitive data, Ponemon reports.
