Fugue Survey Finds Vast Majority of Enterprises Are Vulnerable to Security Breaches Due to Cloud Misconfiguration

▤ Summary

“Our goal with this survey was to identify what actually matters to enterprises with regard to cloud misconfiguration, particularly when it comes to security, compliance and their bottom line,” said Phillip Merrick, CEO of Fugue.“While there are many high-profile cases of data breaches due to misconfiguration, there has been little information available regarding the frequency, the causes and the costs enterprises incur in an attempt to manage them and mitigate the risk they bring.”When asked if their organization had experienced security, compliance or operational issues resulting from a cloud misconfiguration, respondents reported a variety of negative events.The survey asked respondents to estimate how much time their teams devoted each week to managing misconfiguration, specifically on tasks such as reviewing alerts, identifying critical issues, remediating, producing reports, and auditing.“That’s good news for enterprises because the results show where they are likely to be deficient and where there may be opportunities to prevent potentially catastrophic security events related to cloud misconfiguration.
