That's the finding from a survey from Axonius, which reveals how trends including the ever-increasing number of end-user devices, rapid cloud adoption, and the looming IoT explosion are leading to increased complexity and risk and decreased visibility.

Pressure on IT and security teams to deal with major security gaps.

The survey found that 75% of organizations have experienced several serious cloud VM security incidents as a result of cloud visibility gaps, and 73% admit to experiencing multiple serious incidents as a result of an end user device visibility gap.

Organizations with visibility gaps experience 2.3x more security incidents than those without.

"Together, these changes are putting enormous pressure on IT and security teams, who are already struggling to find new management and security tools that can keep up," said Dave Gruber, Senior Analyst, ESG. "VMs, new devices, and new device types are driving complexity. Most say that they already have too many tools, yet still report visibility gaps in what they can see versus what they want to see across cloud, mobile, and IoT environments. This gap directly translates into added security risk. 85% of organizations plan to increase investment in asset management to help overcome these issues."
