The speed of cloud business initiatives is hampering organizations’ ability to secure and manage hybrid environments, with security personnel often not included. The 2019 State of Hybrid Cloud Security survey by FireMon revealed 60% of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that this was happening in their organizations.

Additional key findings include:

  • Only 56% of respondents indicated that network security, security operations or security compliance teams are responsible for cloud security.
  • In the remaining 44% of cases, IT/cloud teams, application owners or other teams outside the security organization are responsible for cloud security.
