\n DALLAS<\/span>, Dec. 14, 2020<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Trend Micro Incorporated<\/a> (TYO: 4704<\/a>;\u00a0TSE: 4704<\/a>), the\u00a0leader in cloud security, today released survey results confirming that the pandemic has accelerated digital transformation for 88% of global organizations.

Trend Micro commissioned Sapio Research to interview 2565 decision makers in 28 countries, across several industry sectors, and from organizations of all sizes, with a focus on large enterprise.<\/p>\n

“It’s a very positive sign that a majority of organizations around the world are embracing digital transformation and adopting the cloud,” said Mark Nunnikhoven<\/span>, vice president of cloud research for Trend Micro. “But the survey findings also highlight the challenges remaining with understanding security in the cloud. Cloud adoption is not a ‘set it and forget it’ process, but takes ongoing management and strategic configuration to make the best security decisions for your business.”<\/p>\n

The survey confirms a simple misconception that can lead to serious security consequences. While cloud infrastructure is secure, customers are responsible for securing their own data \u2013 which is the basis of the Shared Responsibility Model for cloud.<\/p>\n

Nearly all (92%) of respondents say they are confident they understand their cloud security responsibility, but 97% also believe their cloud service provider (CSP) offers sufficient data protection. <\/p>\n

Of those surveyed, only 55% of respondents use third-party tools to secure their cloud environments. This suggests that there may be significant coverage gaps and confirms that the shared responsibility is not understood. Trend Micro Research has found that misconfigurations are the number one risk to cloud environments<\/a>, which can happen when companies don’t know their part of the Shared Responsibility Model.<\/p>\n
