Migrating to the cloud is rapidly becoming top-of-mind for many European companies. More organizations are looking to cloud applications like Office 365 and G Suite to lower costs, improve employee productivity, and reduce maintenance burdens on IT staff.
With the holiday season already in full swing, people all across the world are sharing their personal and financial information with hundreds of retailers as they scramble to purchase gifts for family and friends. This makes it a perfect time to remember the countless company breaches over the past few holiday seasons and reflect on how enterprises can better protect Payment Card Industry data (PCI). Your employees and customers have enough to worry about without the additional concern that a breach may lead to information being exposed to malicious parties.
It's always interesting to hear the insights of Gartner attendees, a high-level group that has a keen sense of what's needed in their organizations. At Bitglass, we're always looking to better understand our customers' top concerns, to see where the industry stands in terms of cloud adoption, and to discuss how a CASB fits into cloud security plans. Far and away the most popular topic of conversation was Office 365. For many, Office 365 deployments have already begun and CASB security was the organic next step. For others, the Gartner show served as an opportunity to meet with analysts and chart out a path for Office 365 migration.
