Public cloud environments are more secure than private and hybrid clouds and on-premises networks, according to data collected by cloud security solutions provider Alert Logic over a period of 18 months.
Alert Logic’s 2017 Cloud Security Report is based on the analysis of more than 2.2 million security incidents captured by the company’s products from more than 3,800 customers between August 2015 and January 2017.
The data shows that organizations using public cloud environments have encountered, on average, 405 security incidents, while hybrid networks have experienced nearly 1,000 incidents.
