Cloud security priorities of “pandemic-evolved” businesses
High-performing security organizations driving dramatic and substantive change, and reaping the benefits of going “all in” on cloud
Devo Technology announced the results of a report assessing the current state and pace of change with regards to enterprise cloud transformation initiatives and the ramifications on teams running a Security Operations Center (SOC). The report, “Beyond Cloud Adoption: How to Embrace the Cloud for Security and Business Benefits,” found that the global pandemic accelerated business transformation far past the cloud tipping point and uncovered severe and far-reaching implications for security teams. It also revealed that forward-thinking and high-performing organizations took this opportunity to face the challenges head-on, and their businesses are far better for it—with more than half of high-performing organizations seeing gains in capabilities and visibility.
The findings come from a survey conducted by the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) comprising 500 IT and security personnel in the ‘SOC chain of command’ at enterprise-class (i.e., more than 1,000 employees) organizations in North America and Western Europe in January 2021.
