According to an official release, Tenable, an exposure management company, has published new findings highlighting that the majority of Indian cybersecurity and IT leaders (70%) view cloud infrastructure as the greatest source of cyber risk in their organisation. The perceived risks stem from the use of public cloud (36%) or multi-cloud (23%) and private cloud infrastructure (10%).
78% of Indian respondents emphasised the importance of considering user identity and access privileges. However, 64% say their organisations struggle to integrate this crucial data into preventive cybersecurity practices, revealing a gap between recognition and practical implementation, as per insights from the report.
“Almost everything in the cloud is one excess privilege or misconfiguration away from exposure,” Kartik Shahani, country manager, Tenable India, explained.
Furthermore, while 28% hold monthly meetings on business-critical systems, 9% of organisations only meet once a year (or less), indicating a need for more consistent strategic discussions on organisational security, as per insights from the official release.
