To accommodate remote work policies amid COVID-19, companies have increasingly adopted the public cloud to support off-site business continuity. A MarketsandMarkets analysis found that due to the impact of the current crisis, the cloud market is expected to grow from $233 billion in 2019 to $295 billion by 2021.

The transition to remote work by organizations across the globe is not temporary. Companies are realizing that employees are just as productive working from home or other remote locations through cloud applications and services as they are in a traditional office environment. As more and more organizations accept nontraditional and flexible work models and accelerate their adoption of cloud services, there will be a constant signal-to-noise ratio, and the likelihood for mistakes will rise.
