"Organizations increasingly rely on the cloud with each passing day," said Chuck Vermillion, AccountabilIT's Founder and CEO. "The cloud has made business nimbler and more adaptable to a changing world, while the new workforce expects flexibility in their job. Unfortunately, with this increased utilization of the cloud comes significant risk." According to Microsoft, there has been a 27 percent increase in cloud and SaaS threats over the last year alone, as well, 52 percent of customers cite data security concerns as a barrier to cloud expansion. Attacks are more frequent, sophisticated, and costly than ever. This trend will inevitably continue.
