The use of cloud technology in the modern world is becoming increasingly popular. According to Gartner, there is expected to be a 20.4% increase in end-user spending on cloud applications in 2022, and a further 20% growth in 2023. This growth in cloud applications has caused many organizations to be concerned about the security of their data. Cybercriminals are constantly finding new ways to breach security and steal data, so organizations must invest in a strategy to stay ahead of these attempts. To do this, they need to build a team of experts to implement, manage and maintain their security approach. 95% of security professionals are worried about cloud security, so it should be easy to get IT and security team members on board. Working together as a team is essential for creating a comprehensive security strategy, as it allows individuals to bring their unique perspectives and ideas to the table. It also helps each individual to develop their skills and opens up opportunities for professional development. Building the right team for the job is not easy, as there is a lack of candidates in the cybersecurity field and the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the workforce landscape. Organizations should not wait until their data or networks are compromised to start thinking about security, but should instead focus on building a team and strong security measures.
