IT and security professionals were surveyed to understand their top security concerns and identify the actions that enterprises are taking to protect data in the cloud.

93% of respondents were moderately to extremely concerned about the security of the public cloud.

A mere 31% of organizations use cloud DLP, despite 66% citing data leakage as their top cloud security concern.

The report also found that many still try to use tools like firewalls, network encryption, and network monitoring to secure the use of the cloud-despite 82% of respondents recognizing that such legacy tools are poorly suited to do so and that they should instead use security capabilities designed for the cloud.

"To address modern cloud security needs, organizations should leverage multi-faceted security platforms that are capable of providing comprehensive and consistent security for any interaction between any device, app, web destination, on-premises resource, or infrastructure," said Anurag Kahol, CTO at Bitglass.
