DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT SECURITY?

“This is the worst cloud vulnerability you can imagine.”     

WHAT IS THE PENALTY FOR BEING BAD AT SECURITY?

The State of Cloud Security 2021 Report highlights several alarming facts, including:

• 36% of companies suffered a serious cloud data leak or breach in the past 12 months
• 8 out of 10 are worried that they’re vulnerable to a major misconfiguration breach 
• 64% say the problem will get worse or stay the same 

Every company makes security a massive part of every purchasing decision. And yet the market doesn’t seem to do anything when a massive breach happens. How is this still the state of security?
