CLOUD ADOPTION AND
RISK REPORT 2019
E
Executive Summary
Cloud services bring a momentous
opportunity to accelerate business
through their ability to quickly scale,
allow us to be agile with our resources,
and provide new opportunities for
collaboration. As we all take advantage
of the cloud, there’s one thing we can’t
forget — our data. When using software-
as-a-service (SaaS) we are responsible
for the security of our data, and need to
ensure it is accessed appropriately.
When using infrastructure-as-a-service
(IaaS) or platform-as-a-service (PaaS),
we are additionally responsible for the

security of our workloads, and need
to ensure the underlying application
and infrastructure components are
not misconfigured.
Through analysis of billions of
anonymized cloud events across a broad
set of enterprise organizations*, we can
determine the current state of how the
cloud is truly being used, and where our
risk lies. Consider that nearly a quarter
of data in the cloud is sensitive, and that
sharing of sensitive data in the cloud
has increased 53% year-over-year. If we
don’t appropriately control access and
protect our data from threats, we put our
enterprises at risk. u
