Thales SA warns that enterprise security strategies are struggling to keep pace with the complexity of cloud environments and the demands of artificial intelligence.
The 2025 Thales Cloud Security Study shows that security teams are overwhelmed by operational complexity, fragmented tools, and increased data flow through AI systems in multicloud and SaaS environments.
Cloud security remains a top priority for enterprises, with AI security investments displacing traditional security spending, and tool sprawl compounding the issue with the average enterprise using 2.1 public cloud providers and 85 SaaS applications.
The study reveals that the risks are real as stolen credentials and cloud-based assets are top targets for cyberattacks, emphasizing the need for organizations to improve data protection strategies in their digital infrastructure.
