The increasing adoption of cloud computing in Thailand has led to escalating hidden costs and security risks for companies as sensitive data are placed in the cloud, says a global Symantec survey. The survey, entitled “Avoiding the Hidden Cost of Cloud 2013”, said 99% of respondents in Thailand expressed interest in adopting cloud computing technology, compared to an average of 89% globally. Pramut Sriwichian, the country manager of Symantec Thailand, a US-based data back-up and security software firm, said companies are experiencing escalating costs tied to rogue cloud use and inefficient cloud storage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Rogue clouds are defined as business groups implementing public cloud applications that are not managed by or integrated into the company’s IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n
And 39% of Thai respondents are concerned about meeting compliance requirements in the cloud, particularly cloud discovery regulations requiring companies to collect data history records as electronic evidence. In fact, 70% of Thai respondents missed their cloud discovery deadlines, leading to fines and legal risks, while 41% have been fined for cloud privacy violations.<\/p>\n
Using de-duplication software will enable organisations to manage and increase their storage efficiency by 80%, Mr Pramut added.<\/p>\n
Thailand’s cloud computing revenue is expected to reach 3 billion baht this year, up from 2 billion in 2011, said Mr Pramut.<\/p>\n
