Government and private agencies are now shifting their computing operations to the cloud. This has been accelerated by the huge advantages that the cloud has over legacy IT because of its effectiveness, cost efficiency, scalability, and performance. However, various cloud computing issues still haunt its users. These challenges are mostly associated with the increased levels of complexity that demand that the CIO identifies the right vendor for the applications to run on and the features available from the stated vendor. These are some of the most important issues you need to address when planning to move your operations to the cloud.

Employing cloud resources such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) can lead to significant cost savings for most companies. The decentralized nature of the cloud presents new challenges as multiple entities may be responsible for an organization’s computing infrastructure. The issue of governance over the cloud environment is a critical factor in the success of an enterprise’s cloud initiative. 

As more of the world’s computing infrastructure moves to the public and private cloud, it is increasingly becoming a target for cyber-attacks. Some cybercriminals are targeting a company’s cloud presence rather than directly attacking the enterprise itself. These new risks pose significant challenges that IT security professionals need to address.
