Increasing Multi-Cloud Adoption Drives Investment in Dedicated CWP Solutions
Driven by digital transformation requirements, the trend of companies migrating to the cloud rose worldwide over the last few years and is likely to accelerate in the next few years.
More businesses embarked on the cloud journey to support remote workers and quickly adapt to the requirements and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, another factor that drives the need for transformation.
Public cloud infrastructure adoption continues to be strong across different business verticals and sizes. The publisher also observed a surge in multi-cloud and hybrid cloud adoption across industries. By 2020, about half of business workloads globally have migrated to the cloud - public, hybrid, or multi-cloud - representing a significant increase compared to previous years.
Industry regulations and in-country cybersecurity acts drive the improved cloud security awareness among businesses, with many stating that security and privacy are their biggest concerns when moving to the cloud.
Based on the publisher's the State of the Cloud 2020 report, 49% of businesses surveyed migrated to the cloud due to automated policy-based security and compliance capabilities that cloud security service providers offer.
