The state of cloud data security in 2023 - new research insights
Cloud computing has increased sensitive data in the cloud, creating security and compliance challenges. This report from Palo Alto Networks offers insights into cloud data security.
Key findings include:
· Over 30% of cloud data assets contain sensitive information like PII, financial data, and intellectual property
· More than 40% of developer secrets, 30% of PII, and 20% of financial data are in less-secure non-production environments
