ABSTRACT
High-tech companies have the greatest cloud risk, averaging 193 data exfiltration events and 41 malware incidents per quarter. Companies in this category tend to have more permissive policies regarding the use of cloud services, which puts them at greater risk. The study found that despite having some of the most stringent data protection requirements,
financial services and healthcare companies have a higher number of high-risk activities than other industries. Financial services had an average of 23 malware incidents per quarter and healthcare had 29 (https://info.skyhighnetworks .com/rs/skyhighnetworks/images/Skyhigh CloudAdoption %26RiskReport-Q22014.pdf).
