Cybersecurity
Myth 2: Private cloud security provides less flexibility While the tangibility of an on-premise site may seem appealing, it can be inflexible, limiting what you can use the cloud to do. Innovation and upgrades are costly and time consuming due to the physical hardware involved and required to take infrastructure to the next level. This means staying up to date with trends and competitors becomes financially consuming. A private cloud solution, on the other hand, provides its organisation with access to the very latest security patches and features through a subscription-based model and can easily be configured to an organisation’s needs.
Myth 3: Private cloud security is hard and expensive to manage Another misconception is that private cloud security can be a costly and burdensome task to manage and having an on-premise site provides greater convenience and visibility – which is why some organisations aren’t keen to migrate. In reality, private cloud storage can be less of a headache to manage than an on-premise site. This is because on-premise storage requires staff to maintain it as well as personalised security and compliance – a costly and difficult task thanks to a worsening digital skills shortage. Conversely, private cloud providers have dedicated security teams that train employees to understand the network, ensuring that your business can stay productive while the migration takes place, without the risk of downtime. Many organisations make the switch from public to private cloud because of its transparency with cost. Despite the many benefits of the public cloud, it
can sometimes come with unexpected costs. For example, although putting data in isn’t a problem there are sometimes surprise costs associated with pulling data out. Moreover, with a private cloud comes the ability to incorporate bespoke and additional security features to meet business demands rather than the off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all model. All in all, to mitigate security risks and control costs, organisations must
carefully evaluate their cloud options and develop robust security and compliance policies. This includes regularly monitoring resource allocations and conducting regular security assessments for potential vulnerabilities. By prioritising security and cost transparency, businesses can confidently leverage the power of the cloud while maintaining the highest levels of data protection.
The bottom line The majority of private cloud security myths are a result of misconceptions brought about by legends of migration stories gone wrong, as well as perhaps a traditional – and understandable – fear of change. Securing the private cloud can be cost-effective and easy-to-manage – especially when compared to trying to do all of the heavy lifting that comes with on-premise storage. Moving to a private cloud solution isn’t the big, scary jump that many
organisations seem to think it is. Migration is in fact a simple, smooth and invisible process – and it can help organisations unlock the power of the cloud and enable the company to innovate.
