Nearly 80% of the companies had experienced at least one cloud data breach in the past 18 months, and 43% reported 10 or more breaches, a new Ermetic survey reveals.
"Even though most of the companies surveyed are already using IAM, data loss prevention, data classification and privileged account management products, more than half claimed these were not adequate for protecting cloud environments," said Shai Morag, CEO of Ermetic.
79% of companies experienced at least one cloud data breach in the past 18 months, and 43% said they had 10 or more.
Top three cloud security threats are security misconfiguration of production environments, lack of visibility into access in production environments and improper IAM and permission configurations.
Top cloud access security priorities are maintaining confidentiality of sensitive data, regulatory compliance and providing the right level of access.
