In the past two years, organisations have seen the growing adoption of cloud services to support their operations. However, this implementation that should have been part of five-year transformation programmes has been done in a few weeks. This led to an increasingly complex cloud environment.
Indeed, a recent report by Veritas showed that 80% of senior IT decision-makers have adopted new cloud services to their infrastructure due to the pandemic and that 47% were now dealing with challenges concerning this rapid transformation.
IT professionals are suffering from a vulnerability lag that prevents them from keeping pace with the quick transformation of the cloud infrastructure, as well as keeping cloud technologies secure. There is a growing risk that businesses will be less protected against cyberattacks.
It is then necessary for organisations to implement strong data-protection strategies as well as for IT leaders to understand the value and location of the data that needs protection.
