Fortinet's 2025 State of Cloud Security Report looks at how businesses are storing and protecting their digital information..
It reveals what’s driving hybrid and multi-cloud adoption, the evolving challenges organisations face, and actionable steps for securing these dynamic environments.While cloud adoption offers substantial benefits, it also brings significant security challenges, says Vincent Hwang, VP of cloud security at Fortinet.AI-driven threat detection, edge computing, and zero-trust architectures will shape the next wave of cloud security.54% use a hybrid approach, combining on-premises and cloud storage.
“This shortage not only underscores the need for targeted training and upskilling to bridge the gap but also to rethink cloud deployment strategies to reduce complexity and increase security effectiveness,” Hwang adds.The research also shows that 82% of organisations surveyed now store their information in the cloud and consider it to be a secure internet-based storage system.
“This approach lets organisations optimise the deployment of their applications based on their needs, striking a balance between control and compliance. For instance, IT teams can use public clouds for customer-facing applications while keeping sensitive data safe in their private environments,” notes Hwang.Fortinet advocates for a unified cloud security platform and advises organisations, especially those with cloud spending commitments, to reassess their cloud security investments.
