In a recent study from BitDefender, 90.4 percent of IT professionals are at least somewhat concerned about the security of the public cloud. To make matters worse, half of them believe cloud migration has significantly expanded the size of the border they must defend, which essentially means they’ve brought a knife to a gun fight.
The study surveyed 1,051 IT security purchase professionals from large enterprises with 1,000+ PCs and data centers, based in the U.S., the U.K., France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany, so you know that the security threat this poses is more real than you realize. Honestly, it feels like startup founders and corporate CEOs alike are reserved to just get hacked at some point in their company’s future. Studies have shown that most businesses, big and small, are not prepared to combat hackers, particularly with how skilled they have become. After all, if HBO, Disney, and Equifax aren’t safe, who is?!
