Most cloud pros saw at least one security incident in last year: survey
By Sam Varghese
A survey of 501 C-suite to IT professionals in the US, UK and Germany, to gauge industry trends, has found that 88% experienced at least one cloud security incident in the last 12 months.
Germany-based open source vendor SUSE, which carried out the survey, said it had done so to "highlight the state of cloud native adoption, major security concerns, and how to address them".
The company announced the results of the survey at SUSECON, its annual conference which is being held in Munich this week.
The survey found IT decision-makers had experience an average of four cloud-related security incidents in the last year, with the number being five for those in the US and three for those in Germany.
Secondary concerns included runtime attacks from threat actors, security policy management, federation, and automation.
The individuals surveyed spent about 36% of their IT budget on cloud native security, with the figure being higher in the US (42%) than in Europe (33%).
When it came to security practices, both security automation and container firewall were widely adopted, each accounting for 38%.
"Similarly, the usage of free or paid observability or security tools is higher among US decision-makers (33%) compared to those in Europe (24%)," the company said.
"The same trend can be observed for PSP (Policy Security Policy) or PSA (Policy Security Automation) policies (31% versus 22%), Kubernetes network policies (32% versus 15%), and free CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) or paid scanner (26% to 18%)."
A third of the respondents said increased re-evaluation and prioritisation of goals related to source-code auditability, the process of running tests and manual codebase inspection to detect bugs would become a concern in coming years.
US respondents (45%) placed a higher priority on source-code auditability and SBOM depth/quality/security (36%) to ensure businesses meet supply chain security goals.
Germany and the UK were behind in terms of source-code auditing priorities (just 23% and 26%, respectively), and spent less on cloud native security.
But, European participants (40%) were much more likely to anticipate a re-evaluation of goals on build quality compared to their US counterparts (15%).
SUSE chief technology and product officer Dr Thomas Di Giacomo said: "At SUSE, we recognise that every business is on a journey of digital transformation, a transformation to be vastly accelerated by open source solutions.
"Our 'Securing the Cloud' trend report highlights the perspectives of IT teams grappling with the growing adoption of complex cloud native technologies.
"The global threat landscape is continuously evolving to create new security challenges. We are well positioned to support businesses choosing secure open source solutions for their most mission-critical and innovative workloads as they transform with the cloud."
