“Strictly from a resources standpoint, when you move to public or virtual private cloud infrastructure you are essentially tapping into the talents of the many smart people at AWS, IBM, Microsoft or Google who are charged every day with making their infrastructure as secure as can be – not to mention the high-security, physical protection and electronic surveillance of infrastructure hosting facilities. For most organizations this is a significant increase in manpower over the security resources internally they have at their disposal,” Jim Crook, senior product marketing manager for CTERA, a cloud storage firm, notes.
