Last month, Sonian attended a Virtual Trade Show hosted by TechWeb and InformationWeek.  The theme of the event was, 'Modernizing IT Governance, Risk, and Compliance.'  You can see pictures and even attend the event here.  The show was a great success, and we loved being able to help people with their compliance questions and concerns.

During the event, we asked professionals who were visiting our booth to answer a few questions.  As an email archiving provider, one of the more important questions we wanted to ask the large IT audience attending was, "do you have concerns about email archiving in the cloud?" Out of more than 200 IT professionals, 2/3rds said they were concerned about privacy protection and data control.  Also, a majority of the survey participants responded to the follow up question, "Is there anything holding you back from leveraging the benefits of cloud computing? If so, what?" with some form of "security concerns."  Sonian has a number of resources to help you better understand how cloud security works, so you can make a better educated decision about how to host your data archives.
