4. Only 22% of enterprise applications are equipped to guard against web-based attacks.
Bigger spend doesn’t mean more secure.

Enterprises are deploying business intelligence (BI) and analytics applications without proper security configurations in place. Get the data in Intricately's 2020 Cloud Security Report.
