Watch for Security in the Clouds
PC World
Security applications delivered as cloud-based services will more than triple by 2013, according to Gartner. The firm said 20 percent of the revenue of messaging security tools, such as antimalware and antispam services for email and instant messaging, currently comes through the cloud delivery model. But this will jump to 60 percent by 2013. Popular on-demand enterprise applications, such as those provided by Salesforce.com, are allowing mobile workers to bypass the corporate network to access business data. Gartner said this will force security teams to put controls between mobile workers and cloud based services.
