Top cloud security threats identified in new research report

Get free weekly news by e-mailThe Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and HP have published new research findings that detail the potential threats surrounding the use of cloud services.

The peer-reviewed research paper, entitled ‘Top Cloud Security Threats Report,’ is the result of a broad examination of information security experts across 29 enterprises, solution providers, and consulting firms exposed to some of the world’s most demanding and complex cloud environments.

Organizations are rapidly adopting cloud services, even as security is cited as the number one barrier to adoption. The research was conducted to provide cloud clients with greater visibility into specific security threats relevant to cloud services in order to more accurately assess the risks and benefits of cloud adoption strategies. This research complements the CSA’s flagship Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus, which provides advice on best practices.
