Beware of Geeks bearing gifts.

To misquote Virgil, “beware of Geeks bearing gifts.” Cloud based storage solutions have lots of benefits as this post suggests. However, it’s not all upside. So, organisations considering putting their data storage in the Cloud should tread carefully. Don’t necessarily believe all the sales patter and make sure you are an intelligent and informed customer.

How do you do that?

We’d advise making sure any procurement decision is informed by your business’s cyber security strategy. There may be benefits from moving to a Cloud solution, but there will also be risks! Do you know and understand them? A Security Architect will be able to help advise you. By analysing your current set-up and understanding your business objectives, they can impartially articulate the benefits and expose the risks for you to properly consider, so, you can be that intelligent and appropriately informed customer.
