TLDR:
- Gigamon’s 2024 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey shows a 20% increase in unseen cyber attacks year-on-year.
- 83% of respondents believe cloud complexity is increasing their cyber risk.
Gigamon’s latest Hybrid Cloud Security Survey has revealed alarming statistics regarding the rising number of undetected cyber attacks in 2024. The survey, which polled over 1,000 Security and IT leaders across six countries, showed a 20% increase in unseen cyber attacks compared to the previous year. This increase is largely attributed to the complexity of data scattered across various cloud platforms, making it challenging for organizations to detect and respond to threats effectively.
The survey also highlighted the growing concern around AI-powered cyber attacks, with 82% of respondents predicting an increase in global ransomware threats. Despite this, only 40% of respondents reported having visibility into East-West traffic, a crucial aspect of cloud security. Organizations also face challenges in securing hybrid cloud environments due to security solutions that come with their own set of complexities.
In order to address these challenges, organizations need to implement a multi-layered security approach and integrate solutions from different providers to achieve a robust security posture across their hybrid cloud infrastructure. Maintaining comprehensive visibility and detection capabilities is crucial to staying ahead of threat actors and protecting valuable assets in an evolving cyber threat landscape.
