It is no secret that companies are migrating to the cloud as never before. In O’Reilly’s annual Cloud Adoption Survey, 90% of respondents indicated they used the cloud. In fact, 20% said they planned to move all applications to the cloud in the coming year.

As a result, many well-intended companies are creating wide swaths of cloud vulnerabilities that come at a hefty price tag — the average data breach costs companies $3.8 million.
