When migrating to the cloud, there are different security concerns which need to be considered. The effective consideration of the concerns makes it for different organization to secure its data in an effective manner. Some of the concerns which need to be considered are: the size of the organization to be secured, the nature of the data handled and the resources available in the organization.

As far as the size of the organization is concerned, the amount of data is determined by the size of the organization. In a situation whereby an organization is large, it ends up producing large amounts of data which needs different ways of backing them up. When the migrating to the cloud, security concerns such as continued hackings are likely to be experienced. The hackings of the might contribute to the losses of data in the organization and therefore security details should be identified to ensure that the data is not lost.

The size of the organization contributes to the creation of large amounts of data which require critical security details for the data to be effectively handled. When the data produced by the organization is of large volume, the organization should come up with strategies which contribute to the security of the data. However, the migration to the cloud computing should be considered as that brings about the required data security. Cloud computing is a secure way of ensuring that the organization’s data is stored thus reducing the threats and the risks which might contribute to the failure of the business. The security issues associated with cloud computing can therefore be addressed by reducing the handling the organization’s data. When the people are restricted from handling the organization’s data, the data is likely to be secure enough thus the dignity of the organization is safeguarded.

On the other hand, the nature of the data to be handled in an organization should be considered before migrating to the cloud. This will play important roles as the right strategies are identified to ensure that the data is stored in an effective manner. Again, the nature of the data should be realized to enable the people in the society to come up with the right data storage strategy in the business. This will therefore make it easy for the data to be backed up because the risks and the threats likely to be encountered are realized and addressed effectively.

As far as the presentation is concerned, it will address the security concerned which can impact the operations of different organizations. The topic will be presented in a better way which will enable a large number of people to understand the concept effectively. Moreover, the topic on the security concerns experienced when migrating to cloud is important because it enables the members of the public to identify the mechanisms used in backing up the data.

Moreover, the topic will play an important role in my development because it will make it easy for me to realize what should be done to bring about the effective migration to the clouds. Finally, the members of the public will make use of the topic to identify the risks and the threats which are experienced during the migration of the data to the clouds. When the risks and the threats are identified, risk mitigation strategies are developed thus reducing the occurrences of the risks.
