Join Bill Bonney, Matt Stamper, and Gary Hayslip and contributing scholars for this next volume in the 15 time award winning series as they discuss current research regarding the challenges of the world of cybersecurity and its effects in and on the marketplace. This volume contains research shaping the conversation regarding what the future may hold to protect businesses and consumers regarding the perils of digital technology. As you read the pages ahead, we ask you to ask yourself: "What should I be doing to make a safer cyber world?" This is critically important if we're to reap the benefits promised in this new digital age.

Constructed for the leader in a non-IT function, the goal of this chapter is to raise awareness of cyber risks for security, and thus, increase leaders' value proposition in cloud migration discussions in their organizations. Celaya's (2015) study identified that organizations lack cybersecurity awareness. Cyber threats are more commonplace than one might think; "of 520 executives surveyed from a variety of industries, 40 percent say data volumes are increasing in size and are becoming unmanageable" (Clemmons, 2008, p. 14). Cloud computing offers flexibility, scalability, reduced costs, and thus, an attractive solution to voluminous data. Hacking data from a computer or a cloud storage device is not difficult; hacking involves understanding a computer's programing language. Today's complex software is impossible to produce without flaws and therefore, software vulnerabilities are unavoidable (Zhang, Raghunathan, & Jha, 2014). Data threats continue to increase in various forms of malware that include viruses, keyloggers, worms, botnets, Trojans, and rootkits, which quickly evolve and make defending against hackers a substantial challenge (Zhang et al., 2014). Join us in this chapter for knowledge and empowerment to ask questions regarding cloud services.
