The future of cloud computing is dependent on how good people and organizations will utilize the need to transact their data using cloud. Since its introduction into the market, cloud computing has enabled many people as well as organizations to have easy access to their information through the cloud. However, there have been several challenges that are associated with cloud computing. Many people and organizations that have seen it necessary to use cloud compared to other data sharing platforms complain of security issues that are synonymous with this platform. According to Kershner (1990), this has raised questions on how safe it is to use cloud technology as a means of sharing data among individuals and organizations. However, despite this security issues, cloud computing has been seen to have a very positive impact to those who use it. This makes cloud fall in the same category of technological advancements that does not lacks its shortcomings.

Despite all this security issues, the manufacturers of this platform have experienced acceptance and wide usage by organizations and people (Kershner, 1990). This is reflected in the way organizations and individuals have made it their choice to use network sites for their social communication through applications like Google Chrome, Evernote etc and accepting the same as their preferred choice of data sharing. As time goes by, it becomes clear that the modern man has forsaken matters related to privacy and in turn has adopted more to matters concerning convenience, there is no exception when in comes to cloud computing and that is why even those who complain of security issues still find the need to use cloud.

Cloud has offered its users a variety of information and tools that makes it instantaneously easy to use. With these, cloud has impacted individuals and organizations in the way they conduct their daily activities. This impact is expected to go higher as cloud is considered a changing innovation in the lives of people and organization yet so much more is expected to be seen given how cloud has affected lives since its introduction and as such, the future holds a very bright position to cloud (Kershner, 1990). Despite security issues that have resulted in breach of data among cloud applications, cloud continues to make transformations in peoples’ and organizations way of doing their activities and the way it has been adopted is tremendous making its future bright. Once security protocols that pertain to cloud computing have been defined, organizations will be guaranteed of safety in their information and because of this security, more online businesses will be conducted by organizations. As a result of these security protocols, there will be fewer costs of business operations on e-marketing (Kershner, 1990).

According to Ward and Barker, the future of cloud computing lies in the evolution that cloud computing has been through since its introduction to the market. The best way that cloud computing can become effective throughout the paradigms that cloud computing has evolved from is if the manufacturers can come up with an internet service delivery that utilizes its resources to provide the very best of internet technology to its users (Ward & Barker, 2013). Issues of security can help make cloud computing be the most or least reliable form of technology. As a result of this, it is up to the manufacturers to use their infrastructure to ensure that security problems are countered in order to ascertain the user that the technology is safe to be used.

Pluzhnik, Nikulchev, & Payain argues that the future of cloud computing lies in the utilization of cloud resources that the technology possess. These authors emphasize on the need to increase scalability and the incorporation virtualization techniques to better service provision for the sake of the user (Pluzhnik, Nikulchev, & Payain, 2014). In addition, they see the need to increase private cloud computing that is specialized for individual activities and public cloud computing that is specialized for organizational activities. The other important thing that Pluzhnik, Nikulchev, & Payain insist concerning the future of cloud computing is making use of hybrids. This will ensure that both private and public cloud computing interchangeably provide high quality service for both individuals and corporate firms.

Another most important thing that must be considered to ensure a bright future for cloud computing is attained and is agreed by all authors is the need to ensure that security is efficient enough to cloud users. Loss of data through security breaches by hackers must be handled with utmost concern. Despite the fact that many users tend to prioritize convenience over privacy, security still remains a thing to be worked on (Kershner, 1990). No user will prefer to have their data leaked to other people, in the case of private cloud computing, or other organizations, in the case of public cloud computing and as such, manufacturers must work effortlessly to ensure that safety is guaranteed.

In conclusion, the future of cloud computing lies mainly on security issues that is associated with it. Having gone through the topic, it becomes clear that lack of defined security measures have resulted in data loss for both individuals and organization. Hackers have made it a norm to breach confidential information that they use to manipulate individuals and organizations for their benefit putting others at risk. If the manufacturers can work to ensure that security cannot be breached, the future of cloud computing will continue to shine bright.
