"Cloud Security Outlook 2023 Confirms the 'Continued Surge in Cloud Adoption' but Highlights Associated Security and Resilience Issues"
ManageEngine has released the findings of its new study titled "Cloud Security Outlook 2023." According to the study, 72 percent of respondents are using multi-cloud applications, and 5 percent are using hybrid cloud systems. In 2023 and 2024, the adoption rate will increase because 23 percent of respondents plan to migrate to the cloud over the following two years. The report also revealed that organizations have a limited number of analysts managing their Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and are using different tools to handle their cloud security. In addition, the ManageEngine study indicated that it is becoming increasingly difficult for companies to gain visibility into cloud activities and comply with numerous demanding regulations. Nearly half of the respondents believe compliance with cybersecurity laws, particularly those pertaining to the cloud, is extremely difficult. These challenges are prompting companies to implement a consolidated security architecture that enables streamlined and effective security operations. In 2023, 97 percent of respondents will evaluate a solution that combines all security functions into a single console. This article continues to discuss findings and key points shared in ManageEngine's Cloud Security Outlook 2023 report.
