Over the next few years, the number of organizations migrating to the cloud to advance their business goals is expected to grow exponentially. According to Gartner, more than 70% of enterprises will use cloud platforms to accelerate their business initiatives by 2027. (That's up from less than 15% in 2023.) Part of this growth will result from public cloud providers' increasing access to and adoption of innovative technologies, particularly generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).
However, organizations don't always plan their cloud migrations with enough emphasis on security and compliance. Many therefore struggle to keep their data safe after having migrated to the cloud. To illustrate, IBM revealed that 82% of data breaches in 2023 involved data stored in the cloud, signaling a lack of robust cloud security measures.
To protect your cloud-based assets, you need to consider security and compliance when you first start planning your migration to the cloud. This can be challenging, especially if you're new to using cloud environments.
