According to the 2018 Security Report “Cloud security and compliance are top priorities in 2018 while encryption is making business more secure for customers”.
As “the enterprises are now running business critical applications and services in the cloud and this report highlights the need for changes in the way enterprises secure their data and applications”, we have designed the next-generation cloud storage for secure storing and sharing of your and your clients’ data.
SkyFlok protects the privacy and security of your data by spreading it across multiple cloud providers and cities around the world as well as encrypting the original data. This means that hackers cannot see your data and that each provider which is part of our ecosystem will not be able to see or benefit from it.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, today announced that Ixia, a Keysight Business, released the Ixia 2018 Security Report, highlighting the company’s biggest security findings over the past year from its Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) Research Center. The report analyzes the growing exposure to cybersecurity risks as enterprises operate more of their workloads in the cloud.
The second annual Ixia 2018 Security Report is the result of the company’s extensive experience in network security testing as well as the company’s focus on network and cloud visibility. Leveraging this expertise, enables Ixia to extensively analyze an enterprises’ increasing network attack surface as the perimeter of the traditional enterprise expands into the cloud.

“Enterprises are now running business critical applications and services in the cloud, and this report highlights the need for changes in the way enterprises secure their data and applications,” said Jeff Harris, vice president, portfolio marketing, Keysight Technologies. “Operating in the cloud changes security requirements. Enterprises need a strong security regimen that includes continuous testing as well as visibility down to the packet level to identify and control malicious behavior before it impacts their business.”
Key findings from the 2018 Security Report include:
- Cloud security and compliance are top priorities in 2018: An Ixia survey revealed that securing data and applications is a top public cloud priority in 2018. The dominance of cloud has impacted security teams as well, as they strive to deliver effective security in a hybrid, dynamically changing, on-demand environment.
- The gap between cloud operations and security operations is growing: A Threat Stack study found nearly 73 percent of public cloud instances had one or more serious security misconfigurations. The combination of cloud growth and a high number of security misconfigurations suggests there will be more breaches in 2018 where cloud is a factor.
- As cyberattacks evolve, more focus should be on visibility and detection: As enterprises continue to struggle with preventing breaches, a mind-shift is required to detect breaches once they occur, especially when an average of 191 days passes between intrusion to detection according to a recent Ponemon study.
- Cyber-crime is good business (for cyber-criminals): Where 2017 was the year of ransomware, 2018 is primed to be the year of crypto-jacking. AdGuard researchers report that over 500 million PCs are being used for crypto-mining without the owners’ knowledge. Mining crypto-currencies provides hackers with a high-profit return that is far stealthier than a ransom attack.
- Encryption is making business more secure for customers (and hackers too): In 2017, over half of all web traffic was encrypted. Hackers are exploiting this trend, hiding malicious traffic in encrypted streams, which makes detection via traditional means impossible. The advent of TLS 1.3 using ephemeral key encryption requires changes in the approach to encryption.
