Research released today by Microsoft Corp. shows that small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are gaining significant IT security benefits from using the cloud, according to a new Microsoft study in five geographies. The study shows that 35 percent of U.S. companies surveyed have experienced noticeably higher levels of security since moving to the cloud.1 In addition, 32 percent say they spend less time worrying about the threat of cyberattacks. U.S. SMBs using the cloud also spend 32 percent less time each week managing security than companies not using the cloud. They are also five times more likely to have reduced what they spend on managing security as a percentage of overall IT budget.
 
I can see this with small companies that have minimal IT needs, where they can’t justify spending the money for a good IT person.
However, the company I work for it is completely the opposite. The benefits we get from Microsoft as a Developer/Partner, and heavy development usage, makes using the “cloud” impractical.
