2024 Cloud Security Report

The frequency and nature of cloud security incidents have significantly increased, with 61% of organizations reporting incidents in the past 12 months, up from 24% the previous year. This surge highlights the growing vulnerabilities in cloud environments and the urgent need for robust security frameworks that ensure comprehensive visibility and proactive threat management. Additionally, 23% of respondents were unsure or unable to disclose incident details, indicating a worrying lack of visibility and control, which could lead to undetected breaches.

To mitigate these increased risks, organizations must adopt a prevention-first approach, leveraging AI-supported security solutions to anticipate and neutralize threats before they cause significant harm. Prioritizing advanced security measures, such as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), can offer greater visibility into where sensitive data resides, who has access, and how it is used. This strategy aligns with the industry’s shift towards more preemptive security measures, ensuring that businesses can effectively safeguard their cloud environments against evolving threats.
