around &#8216;Bring Your Own Device&#8217; (BYOD). \u00a078 percent say that that one issue causes them the most worry and that it poses a &#8220;somewhat or very significant risk&#8221;, according to a<a title=\"Survey on Cloud Security\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accelops.com\/pdf\/Cloud%20Security%20Survey%20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> survey on cloud security<\/a> made by AccelOps.<\/p>\n<p>The report noted that &#8220;Increasingly, consumer-oriented services and applications such as Evernote or Dropbox that are hosted on both enterprise desktops and mobile devices represent a vulnerability to corporate data that hackers are exploiting to get access to sensitive information.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The top data security challenges for the cloud, as determined by the AccelOps survey include:<\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">\n<ul>\n<li>BYOD<\/li>\n<li>Data control<\/li>\n<li>Potential data loss<\/li>\n<li>Enforcing security policies<\/li>\n<li>Visibility across all infrastructure

AccelOps, said that\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s a sad indictment of the security industry that, in such a well-established market as <a title=\"SIEM definition\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Security_information_and_event_management\" target=\"_blank\">SIEM <\/a>and performance monitoring, 39% of those surveyed indicated they could not rely on their existing SIEM and monitoring solutions to ensure cloud security and compliance. \u00a0There is much work to be done to ensure that security threats and the risk of data loss associated with cloud environments are minimized. \u00a0The myriad of cloud services and an ever-changing BYOD landscape means we can no longer simply lock down access to sensitive resources; we have to do a better job of monitoring, correlating and analyzing infrastructure behavior and events to recognize and respond to incidents in real-time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div
