Then came the hybrid cloud, a mix of both public and private cloud that takes the best of both worlds. <\/p>\n Then, 2023 will be all about multi-cloud, the use of different cloud service providers to optimize business operations, lower costs and avoid vendor lock-in. \u00a0<\/p>\n In a recent TechRepublic survey<\/strong><\/a>, over 67% of respondents said they\u2019re currently using or planning to use services from multiple cloud vendors. If these stats hold true, the need for highly qualified cloud experts that can navigate the growing complexity will only increase. <\/p>\n So, what specific roles are going to be the most sought after? Nemertes Research CIO John Burke proposes<\/strong><\/a> the following three.<\/p>\n Firstly, ideally involved from the beginning in the design of a cloud strategy that suits the needs of the organization, a cloud architect<\/strong><\/a> is the one with the big-picture perspective. This is a vital attribute when pondering the strengths and disadvantages of different cloud providers and what workloads should be assigned to each one. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Once the architecture Then, just to squeeze a bit more out of the architectural analogy, think of the cloud integration specialist<\/a> <\/strong>as the construction manager. While the architect designs the building, the cloud integrator is in charge of ensuring its correct construction by managing and integrating the workflows of the many parties involved. In IT terms, that means integrating the myriad of tools, dataflows and workflows that collide in a multi-cloud environment. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n If you prefer being down in the trenches, involved in everyday operations, this might be the right role for you. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Also read our article about Building the dream team for multi-cloud success<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n We\u2019ve touched on this On top of that, and as we\u2019ve seen in our cybersecurity predictions for 2020<\/strong><\/a>, the vulnerabilities and sheer amounts of data of the multi-cloud are just too many and too alluring for hackers to ignore. Attackers will be doubling their attempts to breach into company systems through the cloud. They will even leverage the cloud themselves to launch more cost-effective attacks with greater frequency. Rest assured \u2014 Cloud security experts will be in high demand. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n All in all, no matter what path you have chosen, or end up choosing in the world of cloud, this will be a land of opportunity for years to come. \u00a0<\/p>\n Also read ou articles: Data security : Is your cloud data secure?<\/strong><\/a> and Cybersecurity Careers Overview<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Let’s discover what are the 3 cloud specialists companies will chase.

\nis particularly true in a multi-cloud environment, where threats are especially
\ndifficult to detect and cauterize due to the disparities in response time and
\nsecurity tools that come from working with several vendors. <\/p>\n
