Is there really a difference between security for cloud and the on premise security? There seems to be just a thin red line between the two. You need to be careful and vigilant irrespective of where you store your data. So if you think staying on-premise instead of going to cloud will solve all your security problems—you are gravely mistaken!! In fact experts point out that traditional on-premise system with local client storage on company laptops are even more vulnerable to attack or other threats than cloud-based systems. In fact, organizations can benefit by leveraging the added security skills and resources of the SaaS and cloud computing service providers.
Many of the cloud providers have to go through security and compliance audits, and follow the best practices. Additionally, the experience of working with different organizations has given them the domain expertise and knowledge. So practically speaking they are more suited and equipped to protect your data.
So stop worrying about the security aspects of the cloud. In fact many solutions and measures that would get a cloud security are far better than your on-premise solutions.
