Tripwire announced the results of a research report that evaluated cloud security practices across enterprise environments in 2021.

According to the research, 73% currently operate in a multi-cloud environment, but security professionals responsible for these types of complex environments overwhelmingly report that relying on multiple cloud providers creates additional security challenges.

59% have configuration standards for their public cloud and use best practice security frameworks, but only 38% of framework users apply them consistently across their cloud environment.

Multi-cloud security challenges for cybersecurity professionals When it comes to managing their cloud environment, most organizations rely/relied on existing security teams to complete training or self-teach, but only 9% of those surveyed would categorize their internal teams as experts.

Most would like to see specific security improvements, including communicating security issues faster and following consistent security frameworks.

In the last year, there has been an increase in the number of companies doing real-time assessments of their cloud security posture and a slight increase in the level of enforcement automation, both positive indications that companies are taking the necessary steps to harden their cloud environments.
