Over the 12-month period, organisations experience an annual average of 138 hours of application downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps more worryingly, only 44% of survey respondents believe their organisations have established clearly defined roles and levels of accountability for safeguarding confidential cloud data. Furthermore, fewer than 40% of respondents say their organisations are vigilant in conducting cloud app assessments before deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on the report\u2019s findings, Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute, said: \u201cThis research illustrates that leaving SaaS security in the hands of end-users or lines of business can be quite costly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCloud account compromises and sensitive information loss can disrupt business, damage brand reputation, and cost organizations millions annually,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key finding of the report focused on shadow IT \u2013 the use of cloud applications and services without the approval or knowledge of IT \u2013 and its impacts. 75% of respondents say the use of cloud apps without IT approval is a serious security risk and yet only 40% believe their organisations know all the cloud platforms that their users are engaged with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering an average of 42% of corporate data is stored in the cloud, the need for further investment in expertise and technologies, as well as user training, seems evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Choi, VP of product marketing for Proofpoint, said: \u201cSaaS security cannot be an afterthought given the high cost of cloud account compromise. The move to the cloud and increased collaboration requires a people-centric security strategy backed by a cloud access security broker (CASB) solution that is integrated with a larger cloud, email, and endpoint security portfolio.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want to find out more about topics like this from industry thought leaders?
