Optimise and secure your business in the cloud

The cloud offers unprecented opportunities for business optimisation, and opens doors to new technologies that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to implement.

Yet without a clear strategy for securing these systems – and the often sensitive customer and operational data they rely on – companies rushing into the cloud can find themselves struggling to maintain appropriate security processes.

The risks of this can be severe, ranging from fines for security non compliance to full-blown cybercriminal attacks that can disrupt the business and cause tens of millions of dollars in damages.

For this reason, Versent chief technology officer Tim Hope advises potential cloud adopters to make sure that every prospective cloud platform is evaluated for both its own security, and for the way it interoperates with existing and planned security mechanisms.
