A DEDICATED HYBRID
APPROACH NEEDED FOR
EFFECTIVE CLOUD SECURITY
Technology adoption in the modern world can be
a daunting process – especially for smaller sized
businesses. Riaan Badenhorst, Managing Director,
Kaspersky Lab Africa, says there is a myriad of options
available and this, coupled with technical jargon, can
make things feel a little complex, inflexible and all too
often tied to, and limited by, current infrastructure.
T
he advancement towards Digital
Transformation remains a top
priority, where the use of cloud-based
services and applications is changing this
perceived challenge and is simply making
perfect sense. In fact, small and medium
sized businesses (SMBs) are turning to the
cloud to capitalise on digital, without the
hefty capital expenditure and maintenance
costs associated with IT infrastructure.

The Cloud Zoo: Don’t let your business
data roam free report shows that 78%
of businesses across SMB and enterprise
segments globally already use one form of
cloud service, with 75% planning to move
more applications to the cloud in the future.
While certainly a solid strategy – utilising
cloud services, be it public, private or hybrid
– doesn’t come without risks, particularly
to data.
