Datawatch: Clouds can help security, says Gartner


By SD Times News Team
August 15, 2008 — 

Messaging security will be a serious growth opportunity for cloud-based services, according to new research from Gartner. It will allow security controls and functions to be delivered through new means and new providers, as well as empower businesses to use security technologies in ways that until now have been too costly.

Perhaps the best argument for a cloud-based security service, the research firm noted, is the increasing mobility of the workforce. As more workers access business data and services from outside the corporate network, “new approaches will be needed to secure cloud-based IT services,” explained Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst John Pescatore.

Another selling point for cloud-based services that Gartner has identified is the on-demand nature of such services, allowing companies to ramp up protection in response to events that may lack the regularity of a spam-based attack. Additional information is available in the Gartner report entitled, “Cloud-Based Computing Will Enable New Security Sources and Endanger Old Ones.”
