Cloud is changing the way we consume/approach security. Gartner’s recent prediction buoyed the enthusiasm of the Cloud supporter, “Increased adoption of cloud-based computing is expected to impact the way security is consumed as well as how key government agencies will prioritize security of public cloud infrastructures”.
Now check out what Gartner has to say about the security solutions industry for 2013 and beyond:
- By 2016, public cloud infrastructure will include and be mandated to critical national infrastructure regulations by the U.S.
- By 2015, 10 percent of overall IT security enterprise product capabilities will be delivered in the cloud.
- By 2015, 20 percent of the VPN/firewall market will be deployed in a virtual switch on a hypervisor rather than a physical security appliance.
