A Report Commissioned by Microsoft Finds that Data Security is Still a Barrier for Some UK SMEs.
Microsoft Trustworthy Computing commissioned research conducted by comScore that focused on small and mid-sized enterprises in France, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S.
Focusing on the U.K. findings, interestingly 94% of SMEs reported having experienced security benefits in the cloud that they didn't have with their on-premises service yet 52% of SMEs that do not use the cloud cited concerns around data security as an inhibitor to adoption.
The report suggests that there is scope for cloud vendors and the wider industry to alleviate concerns and educate SMEs about the relevant risks and benefits of adopting cloud based software, technology or applications. Here at Knowledge Peers we believe these findings highlight the importance of SME orientated tools such as the Cloud Innovation Network.
