Cloud Security « An IT View. Where I work we have several cloud based applications in use by the workforce. About 18 months ago, we were involved in some discussions about cloud security and in that conversation, it was mentioned by one of our security experts that an organization’s information might very well be more secure in the cloud than on premises in the data center. Two weeks ago, I had another conversation with two outside security experts and when I shared that same thought, they both agreed. That made three serious security experts who felt things might be more secure in the cloud rather than on premises. This is not the commonly held thought by many. The reason these experts felt things might be more secure in the cloud is that the cloud vendor likely has far more expertise and equipment online to protect your information than a company can afford to put in place to protect that same information in their own data center.
