Gartner Report: Select the Right Key Management as a Service to Mitigate Data Security and Privacy Risks in the Cloud

“According to Gartner, by 2024, the increasing impact of international data residency and privacy requirements will result in more than 40% of organizations adopting multicloud KMaaS over native cloud service provider KMaaS, up from less than 10% today.”

“In all layers of the cloud — infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) — achieving adequate protection of data in the cloud is the responsibility of the client not the cloud service provider.”

This report explains the scenarios of when organizations must review whether the protection and key management provided by each cloud service provider is adequate or should be integrated with, or replaced by, multicloud Key Management as a Service vendor products.
