The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is revising its cloud strategy and embarking on a push to ensure even its most highly classified forms of data are moved off-premise by 2025.
The government department has issued a 39-page strategy document that sets out its plans to “revisit” the cloud migration work it has already done because its “technology core” remains “too fragmented, fragile, insecure and obsolescent” and is jeopardising its threat response.
“Getting greater, near real-time analysis of rapidly changing data to combat modern threats is forcing us to revisit our approach to cloud as a means to address legacy application shortfalls,” the document stated.
