This report will help organizations benchmark their security efforts against their peers and better understand the threats to data stored in the cloud.

54%

of organizations that store customer data in the cloud had security incidents in the past 12 months.

35%

of respondents report that data theft by hackers led to customer churn and loss of competitive edge.

48%

of CISOs say that business pressure for rapid digitalization, transformation and growth distracts them from data security.
