CLOUD & CYBER is often vitally important in industries with tight regulations to follow . The downsides , of course , are that everything must be done in-house .

Here , companies can rely on the expertise of the world ’ s largest companies and their offerings , whether it ’ s Amazon Web Services , Microsoft Azure , Google Cloud Platform or any number of others , with all cloud resources ultimately owned and operated by the provider . Relying on such services moves capital expenditure to the operational expenditure of software-as-a-service solutions , unlocking highly scalable and reliable capacity and removing the responsibility to design your own systems .

Hybrid cloud need not be seen as a compromise , however . Indeed , adopting a hybrid approach can have a multiplicative effect , with suggestions that hybrid cloud could deliver 2.5 times the value derived from a single platform .
