As a result, <em>Cloud security is now projected to exceed that of non-cloud security architecture in the near future.<\/em> That said, it&#8217;s important to be aware nothing on the Internet will ever be 100% secure. In addition, organizations have varied, often divergent, security needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Growing cloud-based security advantages<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cloud solutions provide increasingly efficient use of resources along with greatly expanded capacity and lower costs.<\/li>\n<li>Early adopters report increased revenue and profit margins resulting from higher levels of innovation, collaboration and marketing agility.<\/li>\n<li>Large Clouds are geographically dispersed around the globe, allowing for the rapid accumulation of security intelligence. This permits easier tracking and control of threats.<\/li>\n<li>Clouds now provide more secure client\/server communications including easier, more effective encryption management. In more technical terms, new security software improvements facilitate the creation of flatter, more secure and easier to manage networks.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Contrary to common opinion, customers housed in the Cloud can&#8217;t attack one another (unless an external data center is owned by a competitor). In most all cases, &#8216;virtualization&#8217; seals off each tenant&#8217;s information from that of others.<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since its inception, Cloud computing has gained a reputation for multiple vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":27138,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[365],"class_list":["post-11590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-support-maintenance-news"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owdt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
