Security News > 2020 > March > Organizations are moving their security to the cloud, but concerns remain
To ease some of the burden, many organizations have started migrating their security tools to the cloud.
Based on a survey of 130 security practitioners, Exabeam's report found that 52% of the respondents started moving to cloud-based security products during or before 2018.
"As organizations modernize their security operations, SaaS [is] increasingly becoming the deployment model of choice," Sam Humphries, security strategist for Exabeam, said in a press release.
"While the results of this survey show that some security professionals still have concerns, having visibility into cloud services is vital, and many organizations are now taking a cloud-first approach to security. Added benefits include reduced cost and maintenance issues, as well as eliminating the need to route cloud data to on-premises data centers."
For its report, Exabeam surveyed 130 security practitioners at the Cloud and Security Expo in London on March 11-12, 2020.
