Organizations are rapidly migrating workloads from datacenters to the cloud, utilizing new technologies such as serverless, containers, and machine learning to benefit from increased efficiency, better scalability, and faster deployments.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to dominate the public cloud market with a market share of around one third as measured by revenue. Despite massive investments in public cloud security, organizations still have reservations about the security of sensitive data, systems, and services in the cloud. The security technology challenge is only exacerbated by the dramatic shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals.

This report has been produced in partnership with the 400,000 member Cybersecurity Insiders community of IT security professionals to explore how AWS user organizations are responding to security threats in the cloud, and what tools and best practices IT cybersecurity leaders are prioritizing in their move to the cloud. We hope you will enjoy the report.
