New independent research has revealed that security is still the main reason for the slow adoption of cloud computing. As a result, many IT managers are now looking to SaaS providers to safely support the roll out and management of cloud technologies.

The survey looks at trends around cloud services and the security implications associated with this technology. Key findings include:

- 78% of IT managers feel a lack of trust in security is the biggest barrier to the adoption of cloud technologies

- Over half (59%) of IT managers thought having a fully outsourced managed security service offering was of importance in order to safely support the roll out and management of cloud technologies

- 67% of IT managers thought that a Security as a Service (SaaS) provider should be held responsible for any security breaches, highlighting that SaaS providers have a significant responsibility to provide best of breed security.
