"80 Percent of Organizations Have Suffered a Severe Cloud Security Incident"

According to a new report, 80 percent of organizations have had at least one severe cloud security incident in the last year, and 41 percent believe cloud native services increase complexity, complicating security efforts. However, the study conducted by developer security specialist Snyk, found that 49 percent of organizations now find deployment faster due to improved cloud security. Startups and public sector organizations were the most affected by cloud security incidents. Enterprises fared better, most likely because of greater investment, while small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) reported making out the best, most likely due to a smaller cloud footprint and less infrastructure complexity. Data breaches, data leaks, and intrusions were among the most serious incidents reported by respondents. The risk is not going away, as 25 percent of respondents believe they have recently experienced a cloud data breach but are unaware of it, and 58 percent of both security professionals and developers believe the risk of a cloud data breach at their organization will only increase in the coming year. This article continues to discuss key findings from Snyk's report on the state of cloud security in 2022.
