CLOUD

Seeing
Through

Cloud computing is a tool that offers enormous benefits to its users

but it also comes with a set of problems and inefficiencies

Liability of a Cloud

Highlights
One of the major disadvantages of
cloud computing is dependency on
the provider
Security is the biggest concern when
it comes to cloud computing. By
leveraging a remote cloud-based
infrastructure, a company essentially
gives away private data and information, things that might be sensitive
and confidential
