Cloud migration and cyberattacks are top IT challenges for 2020

New data published by INAP at Gartner's IT Infrastructure, Operations and Cloud Strategies Conference in Las Vegas this week reveals the top challenges IT professionals expect to face in 2020. Migrating applications to the cloud tops the list for 37 percent (up from 34 percent last year) while protecting against cyber attacks is in second place chosen by 31 percent (down from 36 percent). Tied for third are scaling infrastructure for business growth and adopting and/or managing a multicloud strategy, both on 28 percent and unchanged from 2019. "We shouldn't be surprised by the survey given the current forecasts around growth in the public cloud services market and infrastructure as a service spending," says Jennifer Curry, senior vice president of Global Cloud Services at INAP.
