Fugue Survey Finds Widespread Concern Over Cloud Security Risks during the COVID-19 Crisis
84% of IT professionals are worried about ensuring the security of cloud environments during the rapid transition to 100% distributed teams
As a vast majority of companies make the rapid shift to work-from-home to stem the spread of COVID-19, a significant percentage of IT and cloud professionals are concerned about maintaining the security of their cloud environments during the transition. The findings are a part of the State of Cloud Security survey conducted by Fugue.
The survey found that 96 percent of cloud engineering teams are now 100 percent distributed and working from home in response to the crisis, with 83 percent having completed the transition or in the process of doing so. Of those that are making the shift, 84 percent are concerned about new security vulnerabilities created during the swift adoption of new access policies, networks, and devices used for managing cloud infrastructure remotely.
