Cybersecurity and the cloud are causing a panic migration away from the cloud. These two emerging trends are coming together to improve the costs and productivity of enterprise computing. At the same time, cybersecurity attacks are causing problems for businesses and managed service providers (MSPs) alike. The demand for cloud services continues to rise as more companies operate remotely since the global pandemic forced firms to abandon their high rises and office complexes. Cybersecurity attacks also increased, causing 54% of businesses to pull their sensitive data from cloud services.
The Real Reasons Behind the Cloud Computing Panic
Many IT experts claim cloud computing isn’t secure enough to protect sensitive data. These erroneous assumptions are fueling a reverse migration away from the cloud. But what are the real reasons for increased cyber attacks? Let’s take a look.
Broken Network Configurations
A recent article in TechNewsWorld raises questions about public and private cloud computing practices. In the article, Jack M. Germain writes, “A report that Accurics published in late February shows it takes 25 days on average for companies to fix cloud infrastructure misconfigurations.”
Advanced Cloud Security Not Enabled
The article also reports that a significant percentage of enterprises either never enabled advanced security configurations or set up improper role configurations and settings. IT operators are making mistakes in security settings, inadvertently opening back doors for cyber hackers to exploit.
Remote Working Increases Cloud Risks
The move to remote working started before the pandemic accelerated the practice. Many of the infrastructure security issues were already in process. At-home workers do not have the security protocols necessary to detect or prevent cybersecurity attacks.
Issues with In-house IT Support
The cat is out of the bag. Many of the security breaches creating the migration panic are caused by inexperienced in-house IT support teams. One of the challenges businesses face is finding talent to staff the in-house departments trained in modern cybersecurity defense techniques. Managed service providers have the opportunity to exploit this shortage, but they must provide top-tier cloud services to gain the confidence of their clients.
Partner with Experienced Cloud Services Providers
Managed service providers need to partner with experienced and skilled cloud service providers. You can’t trust the large public platforms to provide you with the customized and personalized support you need to deliver to your clients. Hiring in-house talent is difficult and costly, so working with world-class vendors will improve the experience you provide to your customers.
