Over the last decade, the increasing digital identities in all sizes of organizations and the growing trends of BYOD and IoT have resulted in a massive growth in advanced cyberattacks; thus creating the need for adopting Cloud-based security services. Additionally, the retail industries are continuously deploying Cloud security services to protect sensitive data and digital identities associated with each customer stored on the cloud. According to the information compiled by Identity Theft Resource Center, nearly 182 million records were exposed in the 10 biggest data breaches in the first half of the year 2018.
