Statspeak: Cloud services are the most crucial advance in IT since internet

In its latest Cloud Adoption and Risk Report, device-to-cloud cybersecurity company McAfee says that Cloud services have become the most significant advance in IT since the introduction of the internet itself and most organisations today benefit from the collaboration, scalability and cost-effectiveness enabled by the use of cloud services. With an increasing amount of sensitive data stored in the cloud, organisations are also finding challenges in managing their risk, which held back many from realising their full potential. The company surveyed 1,000 enterprise organisations worldwide and combined results with insights from billions of anonymised cloud events seen every month.
