Cloud security: Is it really an issue for SMBs?

The adantages of cloud computing are well-documented yet security concerns about this deliery model appear to be dampening its widespread adoption in a number of emerging markets. This is particularly the case among larger enterprises and, one would expect, Small and Medium-size Businesses (SMBs). After all, if the large enterprises - which are in a better position to understand the technology and its application - are concerned about security in the cloud, then surely the smaller organisation must be equally concerned?
