Survey Report: Behind the Growing Confidence in Cloud Security

Based on our survey results, the mega-trends that make the cloud so essential — the need for agility, flexibility and security for ever rising amounts of data — continue to accelerate. Across industries, geographies and lines of business, the cloud is increasingly the preferred choice for companies seeking to move fast, stay flexible and keep their customers’ data secure. Furthermore, transformational technologies will only accelerate this growth. Machine learning is a natural fit for the flexibility, scalability and integration capabilities provided by the cloud because it requires so much data and computing power. So is the IoT, if cloud providers can build the decentralised networks of data centres required to quickly analyse data and deliver the results to decentralised devices.
