As more organizations move critical data to the cloud, security takes on ever-increasing importance, according to a recent report on cloud security.
The Security for Business Innovation Council, consisting of IT security professionals from 19 companies worldwide, called cloud computing the main disruptive force for 2013. In its report, “Information Security Shake-Up,” the group said it was evident many organizations are preparing to move more business processes to the cloud. This year, it will even be “mission-critical apps and regulated data” consigned to the cloud, according to an article on NetworkWorld.com.
The Council includes security professionals from Coca-Cola, eBay, FedEx, EMC, Fidelity Investments, Intel, Johnson & Johnson and Walmart, among several others.
