Forward-leaning business leaders
also are rethinking their cybersecurity
practices and focusing on a nexus
of innovative technologies that can
reduce these risks and improve
business performance. If there is
one unifying element among these
technologies, it is cloud computing.
The cloud is central to today’s
interconnected digital ecosystem
for individuals, businesses and
governments. Furthermore, it
is the platform that is enabling
organizations of all sizes to leverage
and link cloud-based cybersecurity
tools, Big Data analytics and
advanced authentication. The cloud
also is the conduit that underpins
new technology platforms like
the Internet of Things (IoT) and
mobile payment systems.
