Survey: 84% of Security Pros Said Their Organizations Struggled to Maintain Security Configurations in the Cloud
The State of Security
Headlines continue to suggest that organizations’ cloud environments make for tantalizing targets for digital attackers. Illustrating this point, the 2019 SANS State of Cloud Security survey found “a significant increase in unauthorized access by outsiders into cloud environments or to cloud assets” between 2017 (12 percent) and 2018 (19 percent).
These findings beg the question: how prepared are organizations to defend themselves against cloud-based threats?
To find out, Tripwire took a survey of 150 attendees at Black Hat USA 2019. This research effort provided crucial insight into how industry pros view cloud security today. It also drew attention to certain steps which organizations can take to better defend themselves in the cloud.
Cloud Misconfigurations Abound
Misconfiguration has remained the center of attention in reported data leaks and cyber incidents related to cloud. In Tripwire’s survey, 84 percent said that it was difficult for their organizations to maintain security configurations across cloud services. Of those, 17 percent said it was “very difficult.”
