Multi-Cloud Security Is the New #1 IT Challenge for Businesses

Most businesses now have an IT infrastructure that makes use of multiple cloud services providers. A new study from Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network finds that multi-cloud security has become the biggest immediate IT challenge for businesses, as the authorization and authentication handoffs between these different services provide ample opportunity for things to go wrong. The mass movement of businesses to a multi-cloud provider model can be traced back to a number of things: a desire to not be locked in to one vendor’s products, lack of necessary tools from a single vendor (or that vendor not offering those particular tools at a competitive price point), and network improvements such as lower latency and downtime.
