Cloud Security Solutions Addresses Major Risks in 2016

A slogan that said "there is no cloud, it’s just someone else’s computer" has gathered quite an attention online. The slogan was accompanied by a photograph of an unhappy looking cloud. Although it looks simple, it summarizes that mistrust regarding cloud technology still persists. However, there are some who believe that the hype about cloud in a way has ensured that the data you give to someone else is safe. This is the key reason why cloud security has become a vital part of software development lifecycle.

Why Cloud Adoption Failed So Far? 

Cloud adoption failed so far owing to many security concerns. When many service providers began growing at a rapid rate they failed because of improper management of their data centers. Prominent market players such as Google Compute as well as Amazon Web Services, ran into outrage issues in the beginning and often. Another giant Microsoft, was also plagued with scandals as it grew at a tremendous rate. Furthermore, several security flaws attracted many hackers. As the technology is massive in scale compared to the private data centers, they became an easy target for these hackers. On the other hand, poor procedures with the technology hampered its growth to a greater extent. Certain processes including insufficient security audits, weak backup systems and administrators with no or negligible access to the servers all some of the procedural issues that can be avoided with cloud security. 

So bearing that in mind, Allied Market Research (AMR) looks ahead to 2016. AMR has been long eyeing the growth rate, industry share and size, trends, opportunities and region – wise performance of market. Thus, research analysts at the firm believes that it is definitely worth taking a closer look at the key trends not only in cloud technology but also security. Here are some of the major trends that would be influencing enterprise’s initiatives in 2016.

Host & Network Driven Measures Shift to Control Panel

An important part of cloud security that is different from conventional data center environments is that many security features have now shifted to control panel. This transformation is opening new venues for information technology companies to acquire data associated with risks as they increase. Moreover, the biggest benefit would come from firehose streams, host as well as serverless -process activities via APIs 

Incumbents Play Vital Role in Delivering Cloud – Aware Security Services 

The solution would now be deployed by many apart from innovative startups. Owing to the growing importance of cloud for enterprises of different sizes, security solutions would have to emerge to keep up to the increasing requirements. The change would be brought about by vendors of different sizes such as big incumbents in IT security sector. 

The Race Between AWS and Azure Continues 

Two prominent players AWS and Azure would continue to compete on security offerings. These big brands have been practicing share security model, that has enabled them to concentrate on appending the platform.  These providers are planning on improving the features and different security aspects that are mainly the responsibility of users to enable them enhance their complete cloud experience. 
Observing the major developments in the market Allied Market Research has published a report titled “World Cloud Security Market - Opportunities and Forecasts, 2014 – 2020.” As per the study the market is likely to garner about $8.9 billion during the forecast period. The research outlines that sector would register a CAGR OF 23.5 percent by 2020.
