IDG study "Cloud Security 2021": Categorizing cloud data protects against risks. The recently presented IDG study "Cloud Security 2021" deals with the big issue of data security in the cloud and highlights many central aspects, such as encryption, data theft or the planned security budget of the companies surveyed.
The subject of data categorization, which is sometimes neglected, is also being scrutinized. The results clearly show that the need for a classification of proprietary data was recognized by most of the study participants.
Study shows: data classification is on the radar
After all, 53 percent of the decision-makers answered the question "Does your company categorize which type of data or documents may be processed with which cloud services?" With a decisive "YES"; The most important criterion here is the use of the data. By contrast, eleven percent of the DACH companies surveyed do not plan to categorize data before transferring data to the cloud.
Postponed is not canceled - or is it?
