Mark Russinovich, CTO.

“For years, there has been discussion on when the enterprise-cloud migration tipping point would be reached, and at last it appears it has happened. Cloud adoption is growing quickly around the world, and regional research backs this notion… Security becomes a cloud enabler

Security has been a notorious inhibitor to cloud adoption for years. However, I’m sensing a sea change on this issue, with more customers recognising that the cloud is secure and even acknowledging they believe the cloud is more secure than their own datacenters. While this prediction feels bold, I believe this could be the year we see security change from being an inhibitor, to being a key enabler for cloud adoption.”
