Chapter Chapter 5 in Moving to the Cloud Corporation, 2014, pp 87-101 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The most frequently raised concerns about cloud computing relate to the security and privacy of data held in the cloud. In some cases, we found that these concerns were actually preventing the adoption of cloud services, a point confirmed by Everest Group research in 2013 (see chapter 1). In other cases, security and privacy increased the costs of adopting cloud by requiring increased diligence in assessing cloud suppliers. Finally, there is also the perspective, uncovered in our interviews, that these concerns can be exaggerated by IT departments who are reluctant to cede further control over, or out of, the IT function — departments, perhaps, that have learned their own lessons from the outsourcing revolution.
