While many companies are deploying software as a service (SaaS) applications and have selectively deployed enterprise applications in private clouds, very few have moved mission-critical applications to the public cloud, a survey has found. In fact, only seven percent of respondents have moved compliance-relevant applications to the public cloud; security and compliance issues were the primary inhibitors to cloud adoption.
Comment from Darran Rolls, CTO of SailPoint: Organizations face too many unknowns related to compliance and security in cloud environments to consider moving mission-critical IT assets there. Yet, many business units are already deploying SaaS applications without engaging the IT organization, creating major gaps in the visibility and control over potentially sensitive data. In order to safely adopt cloud computing, companies need to govern identity and access data deployed in the cloud in the same manner that they govern applications in the datacenter.
About the survey: SailPoint conducted the survey among the Global 1000.
