If There Is Cloud, Security Is Needed To Save Data From Being Exposed

ZAKIR HUSSAIN RANGWALA
CEO, BD SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION KEY TRENDS OF THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT

 The entire world has been in this kind of situation and a lot of things are happening digitally where we are not in touch with various people and we are working with them indirectly, a lot of digital payments are happening. People who don't know anything about computers, they have learned about computers and mobile phones and this is a new trend which is happening. Young, old-fashioned people who stayed away from technology are now part of technology daily because everything is dependent on technology. There are a lot of new trends coming in from digital products, digital media and digital things where everything is going digital and you have to learn to work independently without seeing the other one. I expect a lot of trends will come and new things will keep on coming and evolving in this particular sector in a country like India today.

CLOUD ADOPTION AND SECURITY Cloud has been growing very fast in a country like India today, especially during the pandemic when you are working from home, you are working from distance and various other offices, you need to spread out, put your data on the cloud so that your employees and customers working from home or from other region are able to access and at the same time it is dangerous if they are not having or using any security products, or the applications are not secured enough. I feel that the cloud and security products go hand-in-hand. When there is cloud, security is also needed because without that the data is exposed, can be misused and the threats are growing. A lot of hackers and people spreading ransomware are growing because a lot of people are not having a secure way of doing things because they have not been using it. When the clouds are coming in the picture, the security portfolio is also growing and I think both of these are interconnected to each other. As the cloud market grows, the security market will also grow.
