If you want to protect your data in the cloud, you need to be able to see exactly who’s using it and how. But many companies can’t, according to a new report on cloud security. And that’s a problem. Look at these statistics:
| • |
59% of respondents reported security incidents related to unwanted external sharing (for example, sharing a Google Apps spreadsheet containing personally identifiable information)
|
| • |
47% reported incidents involving access from unauthorized devices
|
| • |
62% said their companies have written policies against using unauthorized apps, but few have technical controls to enforce those policies
|
| • |
51% don’t know where and when sensitive data is being downloaded from the cloud
|
| • |
And most surprisingly, only 28% have visibility into user logins. Think about that for a minute. Nearly three-quarters of companies in the survey can’t even track who is logging into their cloud services.

Don’t let your sensitive data drift off in a fog of inappropriate use and unauthorized access. Call Xantrion for help locking down security and compliance in the cloud.
