In less than 6 years, most organizations will make a transition to the Cloud infrastructure. This is not much of a surprise since the benefits of going to Cloud vs staying on-premise are well known. Cloud not only saves you a significant amount of time and money but changes the ways your business operates. This can potentially end up getting new opportunities and finding new revenue streams. Not something any business should ignore. Cloud implementation also comes with different risks for security.


All benefits of Cloud integration can easily fall out the wayside if your data, applications, and infrastructure are not secured. While cloud is generally well protected, there are still many security challenges to watch out for - from data breach or the revealation of sensitive data through third-party applications.


There are a few easy steps you can take to increase your business's security. For example, implementing a single sign-on process will make sure that your staff only needs to sign once in order to use all the apps in the Cloud (on average, there are 508 unique Cloud applications in use within any one business organization).
