Alert Logic Research Shows Increase In Attacks On Cloud And On-Premises Environments
The company kicks off roadshow tour and webinar to present new cloud security findings.
Research compiled for the latest Alert Logic State of Cloud Security Report showed an increase in attacks on both cloud and on-premises IT environments. And while the company maintains that the cloud is no less secure than on-premises infrastructures — attack types that more commonly targeted on-premises are now making their way to the cloud.
“The increase in cloud attacks that we observed is most likely correlated to the growth of cloud adoption in the enterprise,” said Stephen Coty, director of threat research at Alert Logic. “As more enterprise workloads have moved into cloud and hosted infrastructures, some traditional on-premises infrastructure threats have followed them. This reinforces the necessity for enterprise-grade security solutions specifically designed to protect cloud environments.”
