Amazon Cloud Service Dominance
It is worth noting that, in fact, Amazon leads the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) market with a 40% share of the total space [1]. As was previously mentioned, CimTrak is “cloud-friendly” and can help to monitor data stored remotely through cloud service providers such as Amazon. Many of our customers are already utilizing our file integrity monitoring solution to secure their cloud assets. While specific user numbers for Amazon Cloud Services are murky, it is clear that access to cutting-edge change monitoring software should be a critical concern for that group.
Cloud Coverage Rolls in on the Horizon
According to a recent report published in conjunction between Intuit and Emergent Research, approximately a third of small businesses are currently engaging cloud services in some way. They propose that by 2020 this figure is set to double [2]. As more businesses migrate to the cloud, protecting sensitive data securely will be vital. In fact, according to a 2013 infographic from Wikibon, 80% of CIOs were already getting a portion of their IT server infrastructure through the cloud [3]. Enterprise is already there!
If your organization is using AWS to meet infrastructural needs and is concerned with the ability to monitor file integrity locally, consider the CimTrak solution. Agents can be deployed to monitor your remote cloud system and aid in both information security and integrity to give IT staff peace of mind.
