Most companies cannot cope with cloud security threats

Nearly 90 percent of organisations cannot detect and respond to security threats across their cloud environments, a new study has found.

Cloudy provider Aptum surveyed 400 senior IT professionals from organisations with at least 250 staff across the UK, Canada and the US and found 86 percent of respondents said their organisation has adopted a hybrid cloud or multi-cloud model, partly driven by remote working during the pandemic, with workloads spread across cloud and non-cloud infrastructures.

Cloud spend increasing but so is traditional computing

Most organisations plan to increase their use of public and private cloud infrastructure over the next two years but almost half of organisations will boost the use of traditional computing.

Beancounters Aptum penned a Cloud Impact Study 2022 which found that 78 percent of IT decision-makers plan to increase their organisation’s use of public cloud infrastructure while 72 percent plan on increasing private cloud infrastructure over the next 18 to 24 months.

The survey asked 400 senior IT professionals from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom across industries including financial services, technology, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail, public education and the commercial sector about their approach to cloud technology.

Every cloud has a sliver of lining

Attitudes to cloud have changed according to research from Cloud player Aptum.

Cloud player Aptum claims it has has revealed sweeping changes to remote working and cloud collaboration tools due to the coronavirus.

No surprise there, then, in stating the obvious.

The firm found that 76 percent of businesses are using cloud services to facilitate remote working and just under half of the IT pros surveyed have used hosted solutions to provide users with critical services.
