According to the Statista Cloud Market Share publication, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform are the three largest cloud service providers, having captured over 60% of the market between them.

The cloud is no cyber security panacea, and data breaches involving the cloud show no sign of abating.

With so much invested in cloud infrastructure - and with a general lack of awareness of cloud security issues and responsibilities, as well as a lack of skills to manage and secure these environments - there is much to be done.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook for Information Security Analysts, released in September 2021, cybersecurity professions in general are one of the fastest-growing professional sectors, with roles linked to cloud security in particularly high demand.

A new set of skills is needed to manage cloud security as people look to pivot their skill sets to the cloud, which is leading to a surge in demand for training.

Professionals must undertake dedicated cloud security training to ensure their skills, whether offensive or defensive, can protect the sensitive information stored in cloud environments.
