Over the past two years, companies' adoption of public cloud services has surged, but fast-paced change and weaker security controls have led to an increase in data breaches, finds a Laminar report.
As companies go digital-first, data security professionals are managing an increasingly complex multi-cloud environment, while struggling with a lack of visibility, inadequate controls, and rising shadow data problem.
