Enterprises have a limited number of analysts running their security operations centers and are deploying multiple tools in an attempt to address their cloud security challenges, according to ManageEngine.

ManageEngine's study has also revealed a surge in cloud adoption, with 72% of respondents using multi-cloud applications and another 5% using hybrid cloud systems.

Enterprises are hampered by short-staffed SOCs, leading to concerns about cloud security resiliency.

The ManageEngine study further revealed that enterprises are finding it increasingly difficult to gain visibility into cloud activities and comply with various stringent regulations.

"The adoption of CASBs and SIEM platforms helps enterprises ensure security and integrity. However, having different tool sets leads to a visibility gap and complicates cloud security management amid unpredictable threats," said Manikandan Thangaraj, VP of ManageEngine.

"Cyber resilience refers to the ability of an organization to ensure business continuity in the event of a cyberattack with the help of business processes and tools. Cloud security resilience requires enterprises to have visibility, enhanced policy enforcement, infection isolation and impact neutralization from a unified security architecture," Thangaraj continued.
