While these companies approve an average of 41 cloud services each, up 33 percent from last year, thousands of other services are used ad-hoc without vetting.

52 percent of companies use cloud services that have had user data stolen in a breach.

Cloud services have replaced many business-critical applications formerly run as on-premises software, leading to a migration of sensitive data to the cloud.

Use of personal devices when accessing cloud services, the movement of data between cloud services, and the sprawl of high-risk cloud services drive new areas of risk for companies using the cloud.

Ninety-one percent of cloud services do not encrypt data at rest; meaning data isn't protected if the cloud provider is breached.
