Cloud is fashionable! – But how safe is my data?
More than two-thirds of German companies now use cloud solutions – and that figure is growing rapidly. The forecast for turnover with cloud computing in the B2B sector is currently at 30 billion Euro for 2022.*
No wonder, because Software as a Service is practical and economic. However, there is one aspect that each company must carefully consider when services out of the cloud are used: How secure is the data?

FAQ
