Therefore, the cloud computing market as a whole is growing at a rapid rate and will continue to do so. Many studies predict that more than 50% of a server's workload will be virtualized in the cloud in 2014. Additionally, they predict that the total market size will exceed $ 125 billion. This massive growth can be attributed to a massive growth of hackers and cloud threats.

The cloud is aware of many threats and problems. Savvy hackers and cyber attackers take advantage of advanced methods, such as infiltrating a business from the inside out, without being detected by most. Sophisticated hackers are now exploiting the social media accounts or computers of company employees. Malicious applications installed on employee computers are exploited to launch massive attacks on the corporate network.

For hackers and cyber attackers, cloud infrastructure appears to be a very attractive target. Therefore, before submitting your information to a cloud service provider, it is important to verify the level of security, whether it is or not. Additionally, some companies may be required by regulations to ensure adherence to strict regulations on data security, data privacy, and other compliance policies. When dealing with highly sensitive and confidential information, such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, and medical information, companies must comply with additional regulations. Additionally, organizations that store this highly confidential and sensitive information should be especially concerned about their security measures in the cloud. In addition, all companies must also be vigilant to protect their sensitive customer data, strategy, and vital employee information through cloud security platforms.
