InfoSec professionals seem to have accepted the on-going migration to the cloud as inevitable , however , and are doing what they can to secure sensitive data and applications in the public cloud .
Overall , 48 % of respondents ’ organisations store employee data in the cloud , and 24 % store customer financial data there . In addition , 27 % use cloud-based email and messaging and 17 % use collaboration or document management services in the public cloud .
Baltagi continues , “ Cloud providers do offer more security tools for their own platforms , and some have expanded support of industry standard security frameworks and reporting methods to increase visibility and integration with customers ’ existing security tools .”
For InfoSec professionals , however , the greatest challenges are still the limited ability to access data controls built into cloud platforms , integration with existing tools and the slow progress toward APIs or services to bridge the gap between internal and external security .
“ By this time next year , we hope to see a lot more support for third-party solutions , better access for forensic analysis , and more openness about the security controls and processes cloud providers use ,” Baltagi says . “ Cloud providers are improving , but they ’ re not moving fast enough to address the needs of enterprises that continue to migrate sensitive data into the public cloud .”
