📘 Blog: 5 myths about cloud migration that hold you back
94% of businesses worldwide are already using the cloud. Yet so many are still hesitant about making the switch held back by unjustified myths around cloud technologies.
Sounds familiar? You are not alone. This blog post breaks 5 widespread myths about cloud migration with facts and stats.
1. Cloud is less secure than on-prem
They say, seeing is believing. This belief fuels a myth saying that keeping business information on a physical server is more tangible and thus more secure.
In the meantime, the stats prove the opposite. Gartner says that public cloud service workloads will face at least 60% fewer security incidents compared to traditional centers. As much as 94% of businesses state that they improved their online security after embracing the cloud. Well, how come?
With Business Central cloud, you let the cybersecurity potential of Microsoft handle security for you. Namely, MS Azure which powers BC cloud and is one of the top 3 cloud service providers and protects your data with encryption against unauthorized access, multi-factor authentication, and more. With $4 billion annually invested in cybersecurity and more than a hundred global certifications for Azure that make the greatest set of compliance offerings among cloud service providers, MS explicitly states its commitment to the highest security measures.
With Azure, updates and security patches for Business Central are applied automatically. So, your cloud ERP systematically has the latest security measures. With automated updates, you lower the risk of security issues for cloud solutions.
Unlike on-premises systems where updates might be postponed or even ignored.
