Striking a balance between sufficient visibility into cloud computing environments and the potential for an overdose of false positives and duplicate alerts is the key challenge facing cloud security professionals, according to the State of Security Remediation report from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). The report, released today, detailed a raft of important issues facing IT professionals tasked with fixing security problems in cloud environments. Along with false positives and visibility, overly complex tooling, time-consuming manual tasks, and slower-than-needed response times were cited as problematic by large percentages of the 2,000 IT and security pros surveyed by the CSA.
