Cloud computing is now pretty much everywhere — including in smaller enterprises, some 37% of which have already adopted cloud computing . This year U.S. small and midsized businesses are expected to boost what they spend on cloud computing by 28% .
Still, in 2015 cloud computing remains a work in progress, and at Quest we get lots of questions from customers about how to cloud.
In a recent survey , 43% of IT decision makers rated mobility — which is to say, mobile-friendly apps or sites — as the top business functionality or process that’s critical for applications. These days, the line between the web and mobility has blurred to the point of invisibility.
Trouble is, successfully achieving secure mobile application development and web application development is hard for a significant majority of organizations .

Regardless of the sector in which your business operates or its size, conducting mobile and web application development has never been more important – because it’s never had more of a competitive impact.
It’s not without challenges, however. That’s because application development software technologies and IT environments change quickly, and app dev itself has never been more complex . Keeping up is tough and getting tougher.
As I pointed out in my last post, the web and mobile applications on which most business now depend are rife with security vulnerabilities . And it’s getting worse. Take a look:
In my last post, I described some of the key ways Managed IT Services help monitor networks and applications, conduct real-time analysis of security alerts, and streamline management of security reporting and policy compliance.
Important as these Managed IT Services are, however, the IT-centric capabilities they provide are just part of a larger IT security picture. Unquestionably, these capabilities are necessary, but they are by no means sufficient – especially if your goal is (as it should be) to create and sustain multiple security layers that are proactive and preventive.
