What is Cloud Security, and why is it Important?

Enterprise IT spending on public cloud technologies is expected to jump from under 17% of expenditures in 2021 to over 45% by 2026 (Gartner, 2021). According to the same report, the public cloud service market is expected to reach USD 482 billion by the end of 2022. Cloud infrastructures facilitate seamless storage and data exchange, enhance productivity and reliability, and reduce operational and overhead costs for organizations. Despite these benets, migrating to the cloud can expose enterprises to a variety of security threats, including data loss, unsecured APIs, and data breaches. These threats have increased in recent years, due in part to the use of public clouds to store enterprises’ critical client and business data. With a growing number of enterprises shifting to the cloud, security concerns are at an all-time high. Cloud security is the practice of protecting cloud-based infrastructure, data, and applications. It is a series of principles, methodologies, and technologies designed to control and secure cloud environments.
