Deacons has undertaken to automate as much of its data management needs to increase employee productivity.
As organizations begin to migrate to the cloud en masse, there is still considerable confusion about how best to handle information security in the cloud. According to the RSA Security Brief entitled “Identity & Data Protection in the Cloud: Best Practices for Establishing Environments of Trust”, what’s needed to make cloud computing a truly ubiquitous services platform is a higher degree of trust, particularly between the owner-providers of cloud resources and the companies that use those resources.
