COVID-19 has spurred businesses to migrate security operations to the cloud

The new results which were taken after COVID-19 took hold, show that 88% of those surveyed cite the pandemic as a reason to migrate security to the cloud.

Security is still a concern, when it comes to cloud-based security platforms.

Corporate financial information is not the only asset protected by cloud security tools.

On top of security concerns, integration with tools and service disruptions are cited as problems with cloud-based security adoption.

"The momentum towards the adoption of security tools in the cloud has been building for some time. The sudden and-for many-unexpected move to remote working in March opened up the throttle for cloud-based security solutions as organizations had to migrate critical business data to the cloud almost overnight," said Samantha Humphries, security strategist at Exabeam.
