Cloud-Native Businesses Struggle With Security
More companies moved to cloud-native infrastructure in the past year, and security incidents and malware moved right along with them.
Companies increasingly moved their applications and infrastructure to the cloud in the past year, but not without major concerns about security.
Almost 60% of companies said they are more worried about security since moving to cloud-native technologies — four times greater than those that said they worry less, according to a survey published last week by security firm Snyk. The companies' concerns are likely due to experience, with more than 56% of firms that indicated they dealt with a security incident caused by misconfiguration or an unpatched vulnerability, Snyk states in its "State of Cloud Native Application Security" report.
