Cloud Adoption does not have to mean opening up your organization to increased security risks and threats if the right policies are in place. That’s what the findings from a new Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) survey, titled The Cloud Balancing Act for IT: Between Promise and Peril, indicated when it surveyed executives and IT managers worldwide. Security professionals indicated receiving, on average, 10.6 requests each month for new cloud services. Perhaps that’s why 71.2% of companies now have a formal process for users to request new cloud services.

The Cloud Balancing Act for IT Survey Report includes responses from more than 200 IT and security professionals varying in company size and industries from the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions. Sponsored by Skyhigh Networks, the survey covers several topics ranging from the need to hire CISOs to help curb the likelihood of cyber threats to just how much of the business IT is willing to hand over to cloud services from their legacy on-premises solutions.
