Cloud Security

PwC’s survey findings are similar to what we found in our State of Cloud Security Report, released September 2023. The report reveals significant cloud security concerns, gaps in capabilities and skills, over-reliance on legacy tools, and a need for real-time and unified solutions to provide robust protection across complex multi-cloud environments.

Many organizations rely on neural networks driven by machine learning that relies on the accuracy of manually constructed training data. Training data errors lead to overlooked anomalous behavior and, often, mountains of false positive and negative flags that have to be reviewed by human analysts.

It is increasingly more common for organizations to adopt cloud computing in a hybrid fashion, keeping some on-premise infrastructure in place while moving select data to the cloud. While this approach may save on costs in the short term, hybrid solutions complicate organizational security postures.
