While surface-level confidence around hybrid cloud security is high, with 94% of global respondents stating their security tools and processes provide them with complete visibility and insights into their IT infrastructure, the reality is nearly one third of security breaches aren't spotted by IT and security professionals, according to Gigamon.

Only 19% claim effective security education for staff is a crucial factor for gaining confidence on IT infrastructure security.

Despite flagging blind spots as their leading stressor, one third of CISOs and 50% of other IT and security leaders admit they lack confidence in knowing where their most sensitive data is stored and how it is secured.

"These findings highlight a trend of critical gaps in visibility from on-premises to cloud, the danger of which is seemingly misunderstood by IT and Security leaders around the world," comments Ian Farquhar, security CTO at Gigamon.

The Gigamon report on hybrid cloud security trends points to zero trust as another IT and security leader priority.

Mark Jow, EMEA CTO at Gigamon concludes, "Zero trust is still very much a 'work in progress' for organizations around the globe, but it's positive to see that at least half of the IT and security leaders we surveyed view it as crucial to boosting security posture and even more positive to see them recognize the value of visibility. Deep observability and going beyond traditional MELT approaches is crucial if organizations are to advance successfully on their zero trust journeys, securing their hybrid cloud infrastructure and eradicating the critical visibility gaps that are clearly causing headaches and restless nights."
