Migrating to the cloud comes with its own security concerns
Cloud adoption is at an all-time high but continued pressure to migrate 100 percent to the cloud is raising security concerns and new research from Kaspersky Lab has revealed that more than half (58 percent) of CISOs cite uncontrolled cloud expansion as their top security concern.
The security firm surveyed over 250 IT security leaders to learn more about the views of CISOs regarding cybersecurity.
Through the use of multiple cloud platforms within a hybrid cloud infrastructure, businesses can deliver their products and services faster though cloud computing also brings its own security challenges. This is especially true when the cloud infrastructure is hosted by a third-party.
Safeguarding cloud data
Vice President of Global Sales at Kaspersky Lab Maxim Frolov provided further insight into the company's findings, saying:
“There’s no denying that with the business benefits it brings, the cloud is a key part of the strategic digital transformation journey for many enterprises. The use of cloud is growing fast, and businesses are not going to be put off adoption because of security concerns. It’s therefore vital that resilient security is also quickly and effectively implemented, to support this rapid adoption.
“Safeguarding data and workloads in the cloud environment, in addition to supporting the native security capabilities of a cloud platform is crucial. Protection layers should, therefore, include: the capability to monitor application behavior and ban any suspicious activity; prevent exploits by using the latest threat intelligence; and find and automatically patch vulnerabilities, to safeguard data and workloads moving across cloud infrastructure, from threats. The best solutions also provide orchestration capabilities, so that IT teams can control what workloads are being accessed and processed, on and off-premise.”
