Cloud security is a critical component of nearly every business. This year’s 2022 AWS Cloud Security Report shows that 99% of organizations employ cloud resources, with 87% using two or more cloud providers. As cloud footprints expand, gaps in cloud security—and in employee skills and understanding across a proliferation of security dashboards—increase the risk of costly cyber-attacks. Organizations are looking for unified cybersecurity platforms that reduce complexity and automate compliance while improving visibility and control.
This year’s 2022 AWS Cloud Security Report, produced by Cybersecurity Insiders and sponsored by Fidelis Cybersecurity, reveals how organizations that use AWS are adapting to evolving cloud security threats and reducing operational complexity with new security strategies. It also shows the types of tools and best practices cybersecurity leaders prioritize as their cloud infrastructures evolve.

The AWS Cloud Security Report shines a light on the critical challenges faced by multi-cloud organizations at all operational maturity levels, and how they are adapting to stay ahead of threats.
Leading cloud providers offer integrated security solutions that cover the customer portion of shared responsibility.
