Findings in network intelligence firm Gigamon's Hybrid Cloud Security Survey report suggest there's a disconnect between perception and reality when it comes to vulnerabilities in the hybrid cloud: 94% of CISOs and other cybersecurity leaders said their tools give them total visibility of their assets and hybrid cloud infrastructure, yet 90% admitted to having been breached in the past 18 months, and over half fear attacks coming from dark corners of their web enterprises.

While nearly all respondents to Gigamon's poll said cloud security is dependent on gaining visibility across all data in motion, 70% of the CISOs and security operators queried said they lack visibility into encrypted data.

Security leaders in France and Germany bemoaned the scarcity of hybrid cloud cybersecurity skills in their workforces: 23% and 25% of respondents, respectively, said they require more people with these skills.

The Gigamon study's authors said ensuring data that provides deep observability is fed to traditional security and monitoring tools can help eliminate blind spots and close the gap between what security leaders believe about their organizations' security postures and reality.

"The first stage to bolstering hybrid cloud security is recognizing that many organizations are suffering from a perception vs. reality gap," noted the report.
