Problems moving to the cloud
Although cloud computing can solve many business problems, there are issues that need to be considered before moving to the cloud. These are issues related to security, data privacy and regulatory compliance.
– Security: By moving to the cloud, you are giving access to your data to a new third party. You have to make sure that the data is well protected in the cloud. This can be done by selecting a reputable cloud provider, using encryption, and employing a data loss prevention tool.
– Data privacy: While in the United States there are laws that protect personal data, in other countries this is not the case. This means that you must ensure that your data is stored in a country with strong data privacy laws.
– Regulatory compliance: Today’s regulatory landscape is fragmented and constantly evolving. Organizations are required to comply with data privacy and security regulations. These regulations are country specific and vary widely. When moving to the cloud, you have to make sure that the cloud provider complies with the same regulations.

Although cloud computing is growing faster than ever, it’s not for everyone. Before moving to the cloud, you should assess your organization’s needs and find out if the cloud can meet them. Here are some things to consider before making the move to the cloud.
– Migration to the cloud: Moving is always a difficult decision, but when it comes to cloud migration, it can be even more difficult. There are many factors to consider when migrating to the cloud, including the right technology, data migration strategy, and selecting the right cloud provider.
– Organizational change: Moving to the cloud requires more than just changing the technology. You also have to change the culture, processes and expectations of the organization. You have to shift your focus from technology to business.
