A recent press release reports, “Sumo Logic, the leading cloud-native, machine data analytics platform that delivers continuous intelligence for modern applications, today announced the findings of an independent global survey that found security professionals lack the necessary tools and processes needed to provide visibility in the cloud and to converge development, security and operations (DevSecOps) to better identify, investigate and prioritize security and compliance threats for modern applications in the cloud. These findings underscore the need for a new class of converged operations and security solutions integrating application insight within infrastructure defense empowering DevSecOps teams to move 10 times faster and do more with less resources. According to the 2018 Global Security Trends in the Cloud report, a research study conducted by Dimensional Research on behalf of Sumo Logic, 93 percent of respondents faced challenges when deploying their current on-premises security tools in the cloud and 97 percent lacked the tools, cross-functional collaboration and resources to gain proper insight into security across the organization.”

The release goes on, “Key findings include: … 49 percent of respondents said existing tools aren’t effective in the cloud and that an overabundance of tools make it almost impossible to prioritize IT and security investments; 45 percent said they couldn’t investigate threats in a timely matter because of poor integration capabilities… 82 percent said with a move to the cloud, it’s imperative to investigate threats at the application and infrastructure layers for complete visibility; 63 percent reported broader technical expertise is required when trying to understand threats in the cloud; 54 percent said greater cross-team coordination is necessary.”
