Recent research says cloud-hosted apps and services may have a long way to go before they catch on in IT departments.
Just 10% of companies plan to use cloud services for “mission critical” operations, according to a survey by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA). More than 25% of respondents have no plans to use cloud services in any way whatsoever.
Of the 1,800 IT managers surveyed, 45% said they believe the risks of cloud computing outweigh the benefits.
IT’s top concerns: the security of data stored on the cloud, and what will happen to the data if the service provider goes under.
