DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT SECURITY?

“This is the worst cloud vulnerability you can imagine.”    ** **

WHAT IS THE PENALTY FOR BEING BAD AT SECURITY?

The State of Cloud Security 2021 Report highlights several alarming facts, including:

  • 36% of companies suffered a serious cloud data leak or breach in the past 12 months
  • 8 out of 10 are worried that they’re vulnerable to a major misconfiguration breach 
  • 64% say the problem will get worse or stay the same

 

Every company makes security a massive part of every purchasing decision. And yet the market doesn’t seem to do anything when a massive breach happens. How is this still the state of security?
