2022 Cloud Data Security Report
After the sudden shift to remote work in 2020, cloud adoption is still in progress and, as this report proves, is expected to continue over the next 12-18 months. Netwrix Research Lab has updated the Cloud Data Security Reports from 2020 and 2019 to reflect the evolution of cloud security. In March 2022 we surveyed 720 IT professionals all over the globe via an online questionnaire. This report will help organizations concentrate their security efforts on what really matters and highlight the main obstacles on their way to safe cloud computing.
