FEATURE : CIO ’ S PRIORITY cybersecurity needs will all become part of a CIO ’ s expanded responsibilities .
Over the past five years , the industry has placed great reliance on cloud providers and cloud technology without fully understanding how a particular provider works .
Cloud has made itself attractive due to its apparent cost-effectiveness and scalability but issues of technical and physical security , along with the credibility of cloud service providers themselves , remain of significant concern . of websites revealed just how wide these gaps may be , given that the fire had a physical cause – a faulty uninterruptable power supply . This incident also reflected that , firstly , the data lost was residing on bare metal servers within the facility and not the cloud itself and , secondly , the clients who lost the most had not backed up their company ’ s data independently . These are the types of issues that go well beyond the simple functionality of the cloud and should never vanish from a CIO ’ s to-do list .
