In a cloud environment, you centralize and delegate your critical applications and files out of your business premises. You are leaving them with a third party provider and this can become an issue of concern and fear. This happens with every business. Security concerns come in the form of:

Accessibility: Cloud allows employees better collaboration and access to data from anywhere and on any device. This is a riskier than what you think. If an employee’s device is compromised it will allow easy access to your data. This has been resolved to a large extent with multi-factor authentication.

Hackers: Your business is accessible on the internet which many believe leaves their data exposed to all types of Internet threats. But cloud providers are equipped with latest tools and resources to create an amicable environment to keep your data safe and secure.

Outages: Providers have experienced service outage issues however much cloud assures of reliability, cloud computing is related to physical machines and anything can go wrong at any time. But the severity is much lesser than what you experience in an on-site environment.

Some organizations express doubts about the cloud sustaining itself as it is relatively new. But the cloud computing popularity continues to grow irrespective of apprehensions.
