Organizations are increasingly challenged by a lack of visibility into disparate resources and insufficient knowledge about the effectiveness of their existing security controls when managing data governance across hybrid cloud architectures. Enterprise security teams are also increasingly citing the growing complexity of their security solutions and the difficulty of integrating cloud components with existing security infrastructure. For example, nearly a quarter of the respondents to an IDC cloud security survey said they had changed their data loss prevention solution once or multiple times since first adopting a cloud architecture.

En matière de gouvernance des données, les architectures de cloud hybride donnent du fil à retordre aux entreprises. Celles-ci sont en effet de plus en plus nombreuses à être confrontées à un manque de visibilité sur leurs ressources, par ailleurs disparates, et à être insuffisamment informées de l'efficacité de leurs contrôles de sécurité. De plus, les équipes chargées de la sécurité informatique déplorent le niveau de complexité croissant de leurs solutions et les difficultés d'intégration des composants cloud à l'infrastructure de sécurité existante. Ainsi, dans le cadre d'une étude réalisée par IDC sur la sécurité dans le cloud, presque un quart des répondants ont indiqué avoir changé au moins une fois de solution de prévention des fuites de données depuis la mise en place de leur première architecture de cloud.
