In 2015: 90% of private cloud computing deployments will be for infrastructure as a service. By 2017: 5% of all IT job turnover will be due to Cloud Computing.

Am I compliant with applicable regulations (HIPAA, SOX, etc.) What if I lose connectivity? What is the performance? What if I need to customize? What if the vendor files for bankruptcy?

29 A D D I T I O N A L C L O U D R I S K S Offers less legal protection: data in the cloud is subject to a lower legal standard in terms of search and seizure. You don t own the hardware: Conducting a vulnerability scan or a penetration test requires the explicit permission of the cloud. Cybersecurity insurance may not be applicable. Strong policies and user education required: New business model requires users to understand risks and benefits of the Cloud. Who ya gonna call: Does the cloud provider have an adequate support structure? Costs: While generally a cost saver, you need to know exactly what is covered and how much for additional requirements (data storage, processing power, usage, etc.)
