While most organizations list cloud security as one of their top IT priorities, they continue to ignore basic security hygiene when it comes to data in the cloud, according to Orca’s latest public cloud security report. The report revealed that 36% of organizations have unencrypted sensitive data such as company secrets and personally identifiable information in their cloud assets.
The global pandemic accelerated the shift to cloud computing, as the sudden and massive move to remote work forced companies to provide employees with access to business systems from anywhere.
Gartner predicts that worldwide spending on public cloud computing services will rise 20.4% to a total of $494.7 billion this year and expects it to reach nearly $600 billion in 2023.
