Survey Shows Cloud Infrastructure Security A Major Challenge

A new report finds that CISOs struggle with right policies and processes to keep up with deployments of a myriad of cloud technologies. The survey of 150 security professionals, commissioned by network security vendor Tufin and Enterprise Strategy Group, indicates the major factors in securing IT infrastructure are the increasing number of devices joining the network, more technologies in use, and a rise in new applications being deployed. Some 69% of organizations are still in the process of adopting and applying security policies to their cloud infrastructure, and 63% say network security challenges in the past two years have inceased with the shift towards cloud computing, whether public, private, or hybrid.
