Businesses still concerned about remote working security risks.

Despite the increased risk remote working has posed to enterprises throughout the pandemic, 46% of businesses report that their security infrastructure was not prepared to handle the risks caused by COVID-19.

"Sebastien Cano, SVP for Cloud Protection and Licensing activities at Thales comments:"Teams across the globe have faced huge security challenges over the last year as companies accelerated their digital transformation and cloud adoption initiatives.

"When migrating to multicloud solutions, data management can quickly spiral out of control. Organizations not only risk losing track of where their data is stored across multicloud environments but also fail to protect sensitive data in the cloud. With once unprecedented amounts of data now being used and stored in the cloud, it is vital that businesses deploy a robust security strategy based on data discovery, protection and control."

"Garrett Bekker, Senior Security Research Analyst at 451 Research, added:"The native controls and protections available in cloud environments address a set of necessary capabilities, but they're often insufficient to deliver effective protections for sensitive data and workloads, especially when it comes to compliance with regulations such as GDPR and the implications of the Schrems II ruling.
