Securing Your LIMS in the Cloud

Although it may seem counterintuitive, transplanting your lab’s data and workflows from your on-premises servers to a third-party’s cloud-based LIMS makes your lab more secure. Moving your lab’s operations into the cloud also splits responsibility for security between you and your cloud LIMS vendor. Security in the cloud is one factor laboratories must consider when adopting a LIMS. There are shared security responsibilities in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model and LabLynx’s cloud-based LIMS offers security advantages over an in-house application.
