compared to Bitglass’ 2016 study.
Usage of AWS far exceeds the rate of
AWS deployments globally. Worldwide
only 8% use AWS while in EMEA that
figure rises to 21.8%.
The findings show that
EMEA cloud adoption
continues to outpace
the rest of the world.
Key findings:
Rich Campagna, CMO at Bitglass, said:
“The results of this survey reinforce
what we found in our 2016 study –
organisations in EMEA are embracing
cloud productivity apps but still lack
the security tools necessary to protect

security must evolve to protect data
on many more endpoints and in many
more applications.” • Office365 adoption continues to
grow. More than three times as many
organisations now use Office 365
(65%) as G Suite (19%). Office 365
adoption in EMEA has grown by over
50% in the last two years

rate of AWS usage globally. A total of
21.8% of EMEA organisations now use
AWS, compared to just 8% worldwide
Government organisations lead
the way from a vertical industry
perspective with a 41.6% adoption rate.
Utilities trailed with just 5.3% adoption
Regulated industries including
finance and healthcare saw
significant gains in cloud adoption
rates. Within finance and healthcare,
use of Office 365 has nearly doubled
since 2016
Less than 50% of organisations have
deployed even the most basic cloud
security tool – SSO. Only 47% of
organisations sampled had a single
sign-on tool in use
SSO is most widely adopted in
education (64%), biotech
