According to a recent Pew Research survey, 64 percent of Americans are choosing to remain in either a fully remote or hybrid working environment, forcing businesses to grapple with the increasing complexity that comes with migrating and scaling workloads in the cloud.

Qa survey respondents rank visibility into cloud data-in-motion as the top security factor globally.

The challenges of multi-cloud strategies Escalating complexity and cost hinder the successful management of multi-cloud infrastructures - 99 percent of respondents indicated that their team missed or failed an application/workload service-level agreement due to issues caused by an overly complex cloud infrastructure.

Increasing cost and complexity obstruct tech leaders in their attempts to migrate and scale workloads in the cloud - 67 percent of respondents reported high cloud costs impeding their businesses' ability to migrate applications and workloads as quickly as they require; 96 percent of respondents indicated that network performance bottlenecks or complex cloud troubleshooting efforts slow down their migration efforts.

To address these cloud migration barriers and challenges, of those surveyed, 82 percent of IT and InfoSec leaders prefer best-of-breed third-party security monitoring tools over cloud platform provider tools.

The majority prefer a single source of visibility across their environment in contrast to a siloed approach to troubleshooting issues in the cloud.
