Q&A: SADA Systems CEO On Public Cloud Security

The bad news for businesses is that they'll need to rely on outside help to manage public cloud. Are service providers ready to handle would could be increasing demand for that?

No, there's going to continue to be pressure on the … resources [of suppliers that are able to] do this kind of work. It is not just technical work. Even that I think requires kind of retooling or re-education [of] people who used to manage on-premise infrastructure. … When you sort of cross the chasm into the platform stuff … there are going to be a certain amount of jobs that are destroyed, like the backup administrator's job. But there's going to be a shortage … I think [one study cited] 500,000 data scientists that we need that we can't get. They don't exist today. And frankly, that's an opportunity for us, from a systems integrator standpoint. But [hiring or preparing] for that is going to be very, very important.
