Cloud security 'is an issue'

Cloud security 'is an issue'

19:14 1st July 2010

When it comes to the adoption of cloud-based enterprise content management solutions, security becomes a source of concern, according to Doug Miles, UK managing director of AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management) Europe.

"Security is obviously an issue, interoperability is obviously an issue - how do you connect the cloud service to your in-house back-end services?" Mr Miles said.

However, the expert said that the safety concerns around cloud computing, a topic that could be taught in IT training, would be lessened to some degree if a specification for cloud services was introduced by the government

"That might actually allow people to know that what they are doing is permissible," Mr Miles said.

He went on to say that companies are not so keen on branded cloud services, often because they have no personal contact with the service provider.

Mr Miles was speaking at the London leg of the AIIM Roadshow 2010, an ECM event.
