There are <\/span>3.6 billion of us using <\/span>cloud storage<\/b><\/a>. The world\u2019s population amounts to more than 7.5 billion people. You do the math.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past decade, we\u2019ve observed the rise of <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> as a viable means to store our data. Some use <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> for personal data backup, but <\/span>the vast majority is used by businesses<\/span> as a way to save time, money, space and reduce duplication. Cloud computing also increases collaboration and productivity by making company systems easily accessible\u2014regardless of where an employee works.<\/span><\/p>\n

The average business engages more than <\/span>200 different cloud-based collaboration services<\/span> and <\/span>76 different cloud-based file-sharing programs<\/span>. To say the cloud has become an integral part of the way we do business would be a gross understatement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But at what cost? Sure, the advantages of <\/span>cloud storage <\/b>and computing are many, but what\u2019s at stake?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than <\/span>18 percent of what businesses upload to their <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> systems<\/span> is classified as sensitive. This means they\u2019re putting financial information, personal records, passwords, payment information, health records and more onto the cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sensitive data needs to be handled with the utmost care, and <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> solutions may not be up to the task. Cloud technology, despite the many advantages, can be risky. Here are some of the <\/span>risks of cloud computing <\/b>and why cloud technology isn\u2019t as perfect as it seems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Simply complicated<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cloud storage<\/b> was originally billed as a too-good-to-be-true storage solution. Using cloud technology not only streamlined, but also simplified, data storage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And this <\/span>was <\/span><\/i>the case in the early days of cloud storage, but not anymore. Now, the average employee uses up to <\/span>36 cloud-based applications on any given day<\/span>. Instead of one big bucket of data, they now have many small compartments for their data, right down to a cloud for exchanging funny cat GIFs throughout the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So that too-good-to-be-true storage solution<\/span> has become anything but simple. These systems are now big, complex and most challenging of all, they\u2019re trying to integrate with countless other cloud platforms. Sometimes the experience is great, but other times there are glitches and delays. And when cloud storage becomes massive, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), <\/span>entire portions of the internet can be taken out with one error.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Poor planning, poor performance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many people falsely believe <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> and computing is easy to install and maintain. They\u2019re wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, if you\u2019re simply saving a few personal items here and there to the cloud, you don\u2019t need the guidance of a <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> professional. But, if you\u2019re using the cloud at the enterprise level and need to integrate a great deal of data onto the cloud, all while streamlining the cloud services to synergistically work with your current systems, you\u2019re going to need some help.<\/span><\/p>\n

And this help probably won\u2019t come from your IT person. Properly converting to and running on cloud-based systems takes a great deal of planning and expertise. A <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> professional can help set up your system correctly. The problem is most businesses don\u2019t even consider hiring such a person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> professional designs, implements and maintains a cloud system, by considering all existing technology, range of use and goals of the end-users. But since most organizations don\u2019t hire such a professional, their \u201csimple\u201d <\/span>cloud storage <\/b>and computing systems eventually become a slow, tangled mess.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lack of security<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many people wonder, <\/span>is cloud storage safe<\/b>? With all the important information contained within the cloud, questioning <\/span>cloud storage security<\/b> is fair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The unfortunate truth is <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> does have some issues in the security department. Not all cloud-based service providers follow best practices of data encryption. And with most businesses experiencing <\/span>upwards of 23 cloud-related threats every month<\/span>, encryption is a must-have.<\/span><\/p>\n

Businesses also need to carefully regulate who has access to and control of cloud systems. Decreasing the number of people with access to the administrative side of accounts reduces the potential for information breaches. Unfortunately, many businesses have a relaxed policy for securing their cloud data, and mistakes as simple as a misplaced encryption key or leaked administration account can lead to catastrophe.<\/span><\/p>\n

A laid-back attitude about the <\/span>security risks of cloud computing<\/b> can lead to disaster in other ways, as well. For certain industries, especially medical and legal, federal law governs the way data must be handled. Failure to comply with regulations related to the storage and use of data on the cloud could put you or your company in legal danger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t keep up<\/span><\/h2>\n

Just as we\u2019ve seen an explosion of <\/span>cloud storage<\/b> over the past decade, the time will come when there\u2019s a newer, better digital storage solution on the horizon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Right now, there are <\/span>11 billion smart devices connected to the internet<\/span><\/a>. Within the next five years, the Internet of Things (IoT) will grow to include about 80 billion devices. All of those devices will create, send and receive data from the cloud. As more devices are added to the IoT, the stress on already overloaded cloud systems will increase.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cloud is a crowded place and growing more crowded every day. What was once seen as the answer to all our data storage problems has, like many technological advances, a downside. <\/span>Cloud storage<\/b> is complex, requires more planning and oversight than most people realize, lacks some important security measures and is growing quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are 3.6 billion of us using cloud storage.
