Cloud Incidents Rarely Investigated Due to Visibility Issues

More time spent on cloud investigations than on-premise.

The majority of IT security decision makers admit that their organisation had suffered damage before containing and investigating incidents.

According to research from Cado Security of 300 practitioners, 23% of cloud alerts are never investigated as critical investigation and response gaps appear due to a lack of visibility and control over cloud environments.

For those incidents that are investigated, 65% of respondents noted spending 3-5 days more on cloud investigations than on-premises, leaving them open to additional risk as attackers infiltrate networks.

Positively, 77% expect the annual overall budget for cloud forensics and incident response IT security budget to increase in 2024 and 83% of organisations have a budget for cloud forensics.
