Beaverton, OR (prHWY.com) August 29, 2012 - CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 28, 2012 - Around the world, data storage on cloud servers are raising questions about the reliability and security of storing personal data on cloud servers. Various service providers are investing more time and money on delivering better, more secure and faster services. Current research conducted by trend micro show that data security incidents have risen 43% to 46% from last year. Moreover, this research revealed that India had the highest incident of security breaches, which were at 67%. A survey conducted as part of this research also revealed that Japan was least likely to adopt cloud computing when compared to other nations. This fact couldn't be truer as Japan already has the lowest usage level of public and private cloud services.

Despite these frightening figures, globally cloud usage and adaptation has significantly increased from 55% to 59%. India and Canada were rated top users of cloud services. As a result, this noteworthy increase in percentage can be credited due to widespread adoption of cloud computing in these nations. However, experts reveal that cloud computing should be growing at a quicker pace then it currently is. Experts strongly believe that data security is the number one reason why so many people are hesitant to adopt cloud computing. According to another survey conducted by an independent group, 53% of users are willing to adopt cloud computing if data security issues weren't an apprehension.
