More than 80 percent of 650 cybersecurity and IT professionals surveyed by Check Point Software Technologies in July said their traditional security solutions either do not work at all, or only provide limited functions in the cloud.
This indicates that organizations cloud migrations and deployments are racing ahead of their security teams abilities to defend against attacks and breaches, according to TJ Gonen, head of the company s cloud product line. Their existing security solutions only provide limited protections against cloud threats, and teams often lack the expertise needed to improve security and compliance processes, said Gonen.

Cybersecurity firm FireEye, which has been prominent in the fight against nation-state cyberthreats, has been itself attacked by a highly sophisticated threat actor, one whose discipline, operational security, and techniques, company CEO Kevin Mandia announced Tuesday.
This indicates the attack is likely state-sponsored, by a nation with top-tier offensive capabilities.
FireEye is investigating the incident together with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation and other key partners, including Microsoft.
The security vendor joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) last year, an ecosystem of independent software vendors that have integrated their solutions for improved cybersecurity.
FBI Cyber Division assistant director Matt Gorham reportedly said that preliminary indications show an actor with a high level of sophistication consistent with a nation-state.
