The battle over data privacy isn’t being fought on the mobile phone or in the data center, it’s being fought in the cloud.
2016 has brought concerns over data privacy to an all-time high, driven in large part by a drawn-out debate early in the year between Apple and the FBI over an encrypted iPhone, new regulations brought forth in Europe, and lingering concerns about the National Security Agency and government access to personal information exposed by Edward Snowden.
“Without question, it’s the No. 1 concern with moving to the cloud,” said JD Sherry, vice president of cloud security at Denver-based solution provider Optiv Security.
