More organizations are moving applications and data to the cloud, driven in part by changing work environment caused by the pandemic
Ensuring data security is a key challenge in taking full advantage of public cloud resources
This year has seen a few dramatic trends that directly affect IT, in large part results of the global health crisis: the massive shift to a work-from-home model, a significant increase in e-commerce activity, and a big jump in the use of videoconferencing and other collaborative tools—to name a few.

Another prominent trend in this year of business and societal upheaval because of the coronavirus pandemic is an ongoing increase in the use of cloud services.

As research firm International Data Group (IDG) notes in its recently released 2020 Cloud Computing Study, “cloud platforms are playing critical roles in helping businesses react to the current crisis, as they enable operational resiliency and provide necessary work-from-home tools.”

The same study also notes that one of the biggest challenges IT decision makers face in taking full advantage of public cloud resources is a hurdle that has plagued many companies for years: ensuring data privacy and security in the cloud.
