Can you talk us through the risks that vulnerabilities , many of which most on-site IT and rapid cloud adoption has introduced , security teams don ’ t have the skills , resources or tools particularly for regional organisations ? to identify and address . And , for those still using legacy

practices designed for on-prem technologies , the The Middle East , particularly the United Arab Emirates cloud security gap will only widen , opening the door for ( UAE ) and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ( KSA ), is witnessing increased cloud breaches . rapid adoption of cloud technologies , driven by a cloudfirst vision . A recent report from McKinsey & Company According to the Tenable Cloud Risk Report , which suggests that cloud services could deliver as much as US $ 183 billion in value by 2030 , generated from creating and scaling new products . However , cyber-risk concerns have also increased due to the modern attack surface beyond traditional infrastructures .

While organisations can get many benefits of cloud services , it also introduces new cyber-risks and cloud examines the critical risks at play in modern cloud environments , nearly four in 10 organisations globally are leaving themselves exposed at the highest levels due to the ‘ toxic cloud triad ’ of publicly exposed , critically vulnerable and highly privileged cloud workloads . Each of these misalignments alone introduces risk to cloud data , but the combination of all three drastically elevates the likelihood of exposure access by cyberattackers .
