access, all-time data availability, and a lot more.

5. "Data safety and security concerns must be addressed
before moving forward with a cloud platform. Business
leaders must question whether the current infrastructure
can handle the conversion if the data storage and security
are adequate and if there is a disaster recovery plan in
place."

7. "Who owns the data and how do you get access to it in case
of dispute with the cloud provider. My recommendation is
to always make sure you, as the owner of the data, always
have a right to access or download in any situation.
I work in hospital settings, and HIPAA laws require
information security. Use a good quality VPN tunnel with
the required level of encryption."

9. "Cloud platforms create independence in the form of easy-to-
access information/data from just about anywhere. This is more
important than ever as we migrate to more remote working
opportunities. But with that independence comes security risk.
Businesses must ensure the tools (computers, mobile devices,
etc.) are secure."

10. Mr. Brandt started his career in the world of
litigation support/eDiscovery. He has been a
consultant, a vendor, and the CIO for several
top US law firms. He has worked on a diverse
range of projects from Technology and
Business Strategy to IT Executive Coaching.

11. "Whether the cloud is a secure solution or not? It really depends on
the organization. There is certainly a move to the cloud that
predated the pandemic. And there is much to be said for the
elasticity of the cloud.
I would argue that most cloud solutions are more secure than
many, if not most, small and medium businesses’ on-prem
solutions.They typically don’t have the resources or the expertise in
security that the big, reputable cloud providers do."

12. Wrapping Up
Moving to the cloud technology can be stressful and
can take up a lot of time. Thus, it is essential to make
up your mind and make a well informed decision of
choosing a cloud service provider.
