Top executives are blocking firms’ migration to cloud computing, according to research from the non-profit IT Governance Institute (ITGI).
The research found that 40% of C-level executives were blocking cloud deployments, with 50% of these executives concerned about data privacy as a result of going into the cloud. A further 47% were fearful about cloud security.
In addition, 35% were worried about their legacy infrastructure investments as a result of cloud migrations.
The study polled 834 executives from 21 countries, divided almost evenly between business executives (CEOs, CFOs and COOs) and IT executives (CIOs and heads of IT).
