According to reports, a new piece of research issued today found that a worrying gap is appearing between the rapid growth of data being stored in the cloud and an organization’s approach to security. Surveying over 3,000 IT and IT security practitioners in several countries across the globe, the research uncovered that only one in three (31%) companies believe protecting data in the cloud is their own responsibility. A similar number – only one third (32%) of organizations – admit that they employ a security-first approach to storing data in the cloud, revealing a lack of awareness about the importance of protecting sensitive data in the cloud.
