Cloud Technology
Myths
versus
Facts
Because cloud technology is relatively new, especially in tax and accounting
firms, there are several myths you need to be aware of. When you look at
the facts, it becomes clear that with a trusted IT partner, cloud solutions can
actually be more secure than the on-premise software favored in the past.
When you have to be right
Wolters Kluwer understands security is important as you
choose a partner for your cloud-based software.

Components of Digital Security
When comparing the security of various systems, keep in mind these five components of
digital security. A thorough security policy will take into account all five.
MYTH FACTYour data is not safe in the cloud. Cloud providers have greater
expertise and more technical staff.
MYTH FACTPhysical control of data
implies security.
Cloud computing boasts security
at a level you could never afford.
MYTH FACTThere are more breaches in
the cloud.
On-premise is far more susceptible
to malware and botnets.
MYTH FACTI’m not using the cloud, so I’ve got
better protection.
If your system has an Internet
connection, you’re already in
the cloud.
MYTH FACTMy client data is too sensitive to be
hosted in the cloud.
The CIA & NASDAQ host data in the
cloud, and your clients do too.
