Almost half of financial service industry businesses use either public or private cloud services, despite nearly 60% not having sufficient in-company knowledge for proper cloud execution.<\/p>\n
The usage of cloud computing technology by financial services businesses is set to hit 90% by 2023, according to a Frost & Sullivan white paper.<\/strong><\/p>\n Banks and other financial entities are already among the highest users of hybrid cloud, the adoption of which grew an additional 8% in 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n Banks, however, have unique requirements when compared to many other industries that complicate their ability to pursue the advantages of the cloud. These include being highly regulated, the protection of personal information, a lack of technical knowledge to migrate to the cloud and competitive challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the white paper, data compliance and security are the top concerns for cloud implementation for the financial services industry, affecting 66% of businesses, as 89% of IT executives in the industry reported an increase in cyberattacks last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n This white paper is supported by research released earlier in the month by Harris Poll and Google Cloud, which found that 83% of financial services companies around the world had adopted some form of cloud-based technology as part of their primary computing infrastructure.<\/p>\n
