MixMode, the leader in delivering generative AI cybersecurity solutions for real-time threat detection and response at scale, today released its annual State of Cloud Security report along with the availability of MixMode Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) for AWS in the AWS Marketplace. The report provides sobering statistics on the gaps enterprises face in securing multi-cloud and hybrid environments and provides insight into how Generative AI can deliver real-time threat detection to help close the cloud security gap.
The MixMode survey with Cybersecurity Insiders reveals that most organizations must adopt multi-cloud strategies with adequate visibility, controls, and data security capabilities tailored to cloud platforms. Key findings include:
- 75% are extremely or very concerned about cloud security.
- 40% have hybrid cloud environments, while 38% have multi-cloud - increasing complexity.
- 70% still rely on traditional security tools rather than cloud-native controls.
- 77% use at least 3-point products to manage cloud security, indicating a need for unified cloud security.
"The report signals a troubling disconnect between accelerated cloud adoption and the readiness of security technologies to protect these environments," said John Keister, MixMode CEO. "Legacy tools are fundamentally limited in securing cloud workloads and data at scale. Companies need cloud-native real-time threat detection to ensure their environments are secure."
