FULL STORY
======================================================================

If it isnt already, cloud security is about to become every business major 
worry, a new report from Venafi has declared. 

Based on a global survey of 800 security and IT leaders from large 
organizations, it says that Kubernetes is perceived as the go-to platform for 
application development by 84% of the respondents.However, some 75% worry the 
speed and complexity of Kubernetes and containers are creating new security 
blind spots. In fact, more than half (59%) of the respondents who migrated to 
the cloud admitted they didnt understand the risks of their endeavor. 

Also, three-quarters (76%) are under the impression the industry is due a 
major reality check in terms of the cost and security of cloud migrations. 
More than half of those who migrated apps without refactoring were shocked by 
the bill and the subsequent cloud sprawl. As a result, 77% reconsidered the 
migration altogether. Security woes 

But there is more to this story than just costs and cloud sprawl - more than 
half (59%) experienced security incidents within Kubernetes or container 
environments. The most common incidents included network breaches, API 
vulnerabilities, and certificate misconfigurations. 

Almost a third (30%) of firms that experienced such an incident said it led 
to a data breach or network compromise. Furthermore, 33% were forced to delay 
launching an app, 32% have had their apps services disrupted, and 27% were in 
violation of compliance laws, as a result. 

Matt Barker, global head of cloud-native services at Venafi, believes were 
heading towards everything running on cloud-native architecture , but added 
that businesses are underestimating the work needed to deliver efficiency and 
security and that theyre rushing to get the job done. 

As organizations continue to move more critical workloads into cloud-native 
environments, they need to ensure they close these gaps, or we will see even 
more breaches and outages. More from TechRadar Pro Botnets responsible for
