52% of companies use cloud services that have experienced a breach

Use of personal devices when accessing cloud services and the sprawl of high-risk cloud services drive new areas of risk for companies using the cloud.

Seventy-nine percent of companies store sensitive data in the public cloud, according to a McAfee survey. While these companies approve an average of 41 cloud services each, up 33 percent from last year, thousands of other services are used ad-hoc without vetting. In addition, 52 percent of companies use cloud services that have had user data stolen in a breach.
