Protecting critical data in the cloud requires a different or additional set of tools than protecting the information stored in your legacy, on-premises resources.
If you have your own data center, you’re responsible for establishing physical access controls, including a log of who enters that data center and when.
As technology advances, hardware must be updated more frequently, which means, you need to update the physical hardware of your data center.
If your legacy systems are running on outdated or unsupported hardware it might not have the ability to be updated to keep pace with modern threats.
And while being able to see and touch your data center may give you a feeling of control, you also have to consider the cost, scalability and accessibility of the information stored there.
