Cloud security refers to technologies, best practices, and safety guidelines that help to protect your data from human errors, insider and security threats. Therefore, it naturally covers a wide range of procedures, which are aimed at securing systems from data breaches, data loss, unauthorized access, and other cybersecurity-related risks that are growing from year to year.
According to GitProtect’s State of DevOps Threats report, the number of incidents in GitHub grew by over 20%, and around 32% of events in GitLab had an impact on service performance and customers. Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that the cost of failures is growing as well. Thus, the average cost of recovering from a ransomware attack is around $2.73 million, the average cost of a data breach is $4.88 million, and every minute of downtime can cost up to $ 9 K.
