As cloud computing continues attracting the attention of many industries and disciplines, life sciences appear to be taking the right strides towards the use of cloud computing platforms. The greatest benefit of this technology in this discipline is its scalability, innovation, and flexibility. The cloud-based technologies give life sciences the capability to access more resources and processing scale. With the cloud, datasets can be anonymized and shared with ease. This will be a great enabler of the new strategies on artificial intelligence, which include drug discovery. However, some experts have warned that the cloud will not automatically create benefits, reduce costs, or enhance security, that is one of the requirements in any discipline. It is upon each organization or user to determine the processes that can be removed through a transition to the cloud and the new capabilities that can be accessed through the cloud platforms.

Cloud computing has continued to grow, and many organizations have adopted it as the right technology to address storage issues in the age of big data. However, as things shape up, the number of providers has also grown significantly and so have the challenges associated with infrastructure management and security. As services offered by the cloud such as IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, and RaaS keep increasing, the security posture must be addressed. According to a report by Gartner, 95% of cloud security issues in 2020 will be due to improper configuration. A single failure to configure the system in the right manner can expose thousands of systems and information to massive breaches, and many systems and users will be affected as a result.
