Reduce Risk.
There was a time when security concerns made many organizations reluctant to move to the cloud. This attitude persists today in many IT organizations. In fact, in the Oracle and KPMG Cloud Threat Report 2018, detecting and reacting to security events in the cloud was seen as the number one cybersecurity challenge facing organizations.
While some are skeptical of cloud security, many are beginning to recognize that moving to the cloud can actually offer many security benefits. Today, 83 percent consider cloud security to be as good as (or better than) on-premises security.11
