Powerful motivator
FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) is a very strong motivator or demotivator. This is magnified in this post-recessionary period where we are still struggling to improve financial conditions. When you add the fact that many have significant CapEx investments still sitting around, it can be very difficult to make a major move like this.

Re: Powerful motivator
To your point, "FUD" (good one by the way) is slowing down cloud technologies but it may be for good reason but only time will tell. Cloud computing and storage is too new to chance having all of your data stolen. Will all of the news concerning target and others it makes executives be overly cautious.

Re: Powerful motivator
Cautious and measured is good. Paralyzed by fear, not so much.

Re: Powerful motivator
Very true, cautiousness is ususally the best. Parallyzed fear will prevent you from making informed decisions also.

Re: Powerful motivator
jagibbons ... definitely agree on the FUD front. Curious: do you think the existence of those CapEx investments will actually push people toward the cloud? Could see that as the greatest motivator of all, especially when the big bosses are parsing budgets.

Re: Powerful motivator
From my experienc, existing CapEx investments will push folk to the cloud when those assets are a) fully depreciated and b) needing to be relaced/refreshed. If they are still in production use, relativly new and still being paid for, that ends up being more of a deterent to cloud adoption.

Re: Powerful motivator
I think you have a valid point, new technologies will all be adopted at a much slower pace than before.

Re: Powerful motivator -- on the other hand....
What would the cloud service provider industry need to do to overcume the FUD and reassure customers? It sounds like -- from this thread -- that its more than just a financial concern.

Re: Powerful motivator -- on the other hand....
I think it will just take some time and testing to see how the cloud turns out. Datacenters are protected and controlled but you must rely on others to secure your data in the cloud. There has to be a comfort level with the cloud and only time will tell when that will be.

Comfort level along with some effective security strategies. RAVI ITHAL Chief Architect at Netskope had some interesting thoughts about that in his blog today API-First: 3 Steps For Building Secure Cloud Apps.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
