Here's why 49% of your peers have slowed cloud adoption (yup, it's security again)
Sponsored by: Intel Security
Clouds come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and while they are definitely saving money and enabling greater flexibility, the change in technologies is straining IT resources and teams due to an unfortunate shortage of security skills when it comes to the cloud.

How do we know this?

Because we read the responses and feedback from over 2,000 IT security pros that we’re happy enough to provide some candid feedback on the state of cloud security today and where the biggest gaps still remain.

We’d like to make the full survey report and responses available to you right now at no cost. Find out why:
  • 52% of those surveyed said the likelihood of getting a malware infection from a cloud app is higher than ever
  • 49% of respondents have slowed their cloud adoption due to a lack of cybersecurity skills
  • 74% of organizations reported storing some or all of their sensitive data in public clouds (not good)
  • 65% believe that the Shadow Cloud is interfering with their ability to keep the cloud safe
  • And much, much more
