The report is attached for your reference and some key findings from the report include, but are not limited to:
- 21% of all files in the cloud contain sensitive data, up 17% from 2016
- The number of files shared in the cloud with sensitive data has increased 53% year-over-year (YoY)
- Most organizations think they use about 30 unique cloud services, while findings demonstrate they use close to 2,000
- Sharing sensitive data with an open, public link has increased by 23% from 2016
- 48% of all files in the cloud are eventually shared
