6 Cloud Security Trends We're Watching in 2024 In this episode of the SecurityANGLE, our series focused on all things cybersecurity, I'm joined by Jo Peterson, engineer, analyst, and member of theCUBE Collective community, to share insights on the top 6 cloud security trends we are tracking in 2024.
According to Security Today, global cloud spending is expected to grow more than 20% in 2024 as more organizations implement a cloud-first approach. As assets increasingly shift to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, we expect security strategies to be top-of-mind as threat actors continue to look for vulnerabilities to exploit across interconnected cloud deployments. As an aside, if you're interested in the 2024 IT Spending Outlook, check out my colleague, Dave Vallente's Breaking Analysis on this topic utilizing the latest research from ETR.
Why the focus on cloud security trends? Threat actors don't sit still. They are rapidly adapting as organizations adopt a cloud-first approach, and organizations should be prepared to double down on their data protection and cloud security strategies to thwart cyber threats, especially those targeting attractive newer cloud technologies like container-based and serverless resources.
