Cloud services are the most significant advance in IT since the introduction of the internet itself, and most organizations today benefit from the collaboration, scalability and cost-effectiveness enabled by the use of cloud services. With an increasing amount of sensitive data stored in the cloud, organizations are also finding challenges in managing their risk, which holds back many organizations from realizing their full potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">McAfee surveyed 1,000 enterprise organizations worldwide and combined results with insights from billions of anonymized cloud events seen every month by McAfee\u2019s CASB, MVISION Cloud. The results demonstrate that a wide range of organizations accelerate their business from the use of cloud services. However, there is a striking divide between organizations who have addressed their shared responsibility for protecting data in the cloud, and those who have not \u2013 organizations were over 35 percent more likely to launch new products, speed time to market, and expand to new markets with the cloud when proactively addressing security of their data in the cloud through the use of a CASB.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This edition of the McAfee Cloud Adoption and Risk Report also reveals the following :<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>Most sensitive data is under the IT team\u2019s control:<\/b>\u00a0Results showed that 65 percent of enterprise data lives in collaboration and business software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, 25 percent in infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), and only 10 percent in \u201cShadow IT\u201d unknown to the IT department. IT teams are subscribing to these cloud applications themselves, effectively fulfilling many employee needs that were previously unmet or were met through the use of \u201cShadow IT\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>Gap between secure enablement and cloud adoption:<\/b>\u00a0Only 36 percent of organizations said they could enforce data loss prevention in the cloud, and only 33 percent could control the collaboration settings that determine how their data is shared. In the case of IaaS, only 26 percent said they could audit configuration settings, widening the gap between risky and secure cloud adoption.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>A minority of organizations experiencing the full potential of business acceleration:\u00a0<\/b>Although the likelihood of launching new products, speeding time to market and expanding to new markets is higher when a CASB is part of their cloud security strategy, only one in three companies surveyed are currently using one.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u201cThis research shines a light on organizations who are leading the charge in cloud adoption, prioritizing the security of their data as they roll out new cloud services and winning in the market because of the actions they are taking,\u201d said Rajiv Gupta, senior vice president, Cloud Security, McAfee. \u201cOrganizations often tell us how much faster their business moves when security is addressed in the cloud and it is exciting for us now to quantify this experience and share our data and recommendations with the rest of the market.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Organizations who want to learn how they can protect enterprise data wherever it resides can tune in to today\u2019s livestreamed MVISION Briefing at 10 a.m. PT titled,\u00a0\u201cCloud Security: New Risks, New Rules.\u201d\u00a0Attendees will have the chance to hear directly from McAfee partners and customers on how they have successfully put a strategy into action to make cloud the most secure environment for their business.
