Without a scalable IT infrastructure, you’re not going to get everything you can out of your data. In this age of digital transformation, data is amassed quickly and is key to business processes at your organization. Cloud-based solutions can give you the scalability you need to improve workflows and improve how your business functions.
Going Off Site
Part of the power of the cloud is to eliminate the need for investing in more infrastructure and software. Rather than take up physical space at your location with expensive servers and software, which requires frequent updating, all of that is taken care of off-site by your cloud vendor.
The cloud is truly disrupting the way organizations spend on IT. According to experts, approximately a quarter of the IT market will be in the cloud by 2020.
Security Concerns
With digital transformation comes the threat of being compromised by enterprising cybercriminals. However, in order for a cloud-based provider to stay in business, they have to maintain their reputation as a safe and secure business partner.
Organizations that provide solutions in the cloud do everything they can to ensure your data will be safe. Cloud storage is becoming more common, and increasingly, the data is being encrypted so prying eyes can’t make any sense of it if they are able to access it.
The fact is, your data is probably safer in a cloud-based environment than it is on local servers. Many times, your employees are the gateway for cybercriminals getting access to your data. This is often due to weak passwords or clicking on a suspicious link in an email. However, with your data locked down tightly in the cloud, you can better remediate a breach and experience no loss of data.
Analyzing Threats
Thanks to powerful cloud-based tools, advanced threats can be analyzed and locked down, which is an important part of digital transformation. All suspicious files, which include digital communication, will be thoroughly analyzed.
Distributed networks need to be protected, especially as organizations see their workforce demand more mobile opportunities, which is another product of the digital transformation brought on by improved mobile technology.
