The movement of enterprise workloads to the cloud continues to accelerate. This year, private cloud and public cloud environments were the top two infrastructure choices for organizations who are updating their SAP landscapes. And this does not consider how the many non-SAP solutions in use in today’s business landscape are also moving to the cloud.

With so many applications moving to cloud environments, securing them is more important than ever. This is especially true with cybercrime on the rise globally, and the increased attack surface created by moving enterprise workloads to the cloud, makes it even more difficult for organizations to defend against cyber-attacks. The increase in cyber-attacks was demonstrated by the fact that 61% of respondents reported attacks made against at least one of their cloud providers. Having a security plan in place, for both cloud-based systems and the integration and data transfer points between those systems, is an imperative.
