New research shows a surge in cloud adoption, and while there are obvious 
benefits, some industries are more at risk than others. 

A survey of 1,800 global respondents carried out by Blancco found evidence of 
extensive cloud adoption, however data management best practices show a 
particular weakness among many companies, including healthcare and finance. 

The research found that a little over half (57%) of organizations have a 
schedule to review different data types in order to determine end-of-life 
(EOL), however this still leaves more than four in 10 companies with no form 
of review. Risks of cloud adoption 

The study also delved deeper into the methods applied for reviewing and found 
that over a quarter (28%) use the blunt approach of automatic expiration date 
setting. While this is certainly an effective way to ensure that all data is 
assessed, the blanket one-size-fits-all approach doesnt suit the needs of 
different classes of data. 

Best practice that may have been in place in on-premises data centers can be 
left behind when organizations migrate their data to the cloud, Blancco said. 

Its possible that many believe risks relating to EOL are less prevalent in 
the cloud, or that a simple lack of knowledge is responsible for putting 
these high-risk industries at even more of a risk. Backing up the latter 
point are the 65% of respondents who felt they could better manage EOL 
on-premises, rather than in the cloud. Read more

Looking ahead, Blancco stresses the need for a rethink to data ownership that 
not only sees it transition from on-prem to cloud storage , but to adapt 
accordingly as well. 

Broadly, some of the most personally identifiable and sensitive information 
belonging to individuals is held by these industries, and while improved 
connectivity and collaboration are vital to progression in any sector, risk 
reduction and compliance should remain a top focus. Heres our list of the
