“ Cloud security is a broad issue ,” said Jim Fulton , Director , Cloud and Edge Protection Solutions , Forcepoint . “ From what I ’ ve seen , about 10 % of companies really understand all of the facets . A more realistic answer is from the folks who express their lack of complete confidence in cloud security because as apps and data move to the cloud , there ’ s often a corresponding lack of visibility . IT doesn ’ t know where data is , and with ‘ shadow IT ’ projects , it can also be difficult to determine who ’ s using what tools and applications , let alone reliably secure them all .”
