65.1% of respondents said they currently have data resident in the public cloud.
With public cloud adoption having a compound annual growth rate of nearly 26%, it's surprising that respondents haven't yet hardened data security for these assets.
40.3% said that they had a public cloud data security tool in place to monitor for insider and outsider threats and data exfiltration.
As a result, many organizations lack visibility into unauthorized public cloud data access.
38.3% don't know if they have had a third party successfully exfiltrate their public cloud data in the past six months, while 9.6% have experienced a recent exposure.
"The acceleration of public cloud adoption and hybrid work model have unfortunately created blindspots for security teams. Luckily, security teams can immediately improve visibility into who is accessing and using their data by deploying a public cloud data security platform," said Amit Shaked, CEO of Laminar.
