How trustworthy is your cloud provider?


That’s the question many security personnel ask themselves, as cloud adoption continues apace. According to Thales’ 2017 Global Encryption Trends Study (carried out by Ponemon Institute), enterprises have accelerated adoption of encryption strategies in response to cloud adoption, with 41% of respondents saying their organization has an encryption strategy applied consistently across the enterprise.

About 67% of respondents take one of two routes: they either perform encryption on premise prior to sending data to the cloud, or encrypt in the cloud using keys they generate and manage on premises. But a full 37% said their organizations turn over complete control of keys and encryption processes to the cloud providers themselves.

Other critical findings demonstrate organizations continue to show a preference for control over encryption and key management when those activities migrate to the cloud. About a third (31%) are using or planning to use hardware security modules (HSMs) with bring your own key (BYOK) deployments, with 20% claiming the same for cloud access security broker (CASB) deployments.
