Hybrid cloud environments are particularly vulnerable to zero-day exploits, according to a new study.

Securing cloud-based and legacy systems is a balancing act, and businesses have a tough time staying upright. As the race to the cloud picks up speed, many are struggling to fully protect their hybrid environments from zero-day attacks.

Researchers at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) polled 450 IT and security pros in North America and Western Europe on hybrid cloud environments and containers. The results demonstrate concern around zero-day attacks and increased container adoption.

"The thesis for the study was the multidimensionality of hybrid clouds is shifting cybersecurity priorities," explains Doug Cahill, senior analyst covering cybersecurity for ESG and leader of this research, which was commissioned by Capsule8.
