76% of security professionals state they have difficulty maintaining security configurations in the cloud, and 37% said their risk management capabilities in the cloud are worse compared with other parts of their environment.
93% are concerned about human error accidentally exposing their cloud data.
Attackers are known to run automated searches to find sensitive data exposed in the cloud, making it critical for organizations to monitor their cloud security posture on a recurring basis and fix issues immediately.
Despite widespread worry about human errors, 22% still assess their cloud security posture manually.
Most organizations utilize a framework for securing their cloud environments - CIS and NIST being two of the most popular - but only 22% said they are able to maintain continuous cloud security compliance over time.
