Immuta survey reveals data security and access blindspots
Immuta has announced the findings of its third annual State of Data Engineering Survey , which highlights the top data engineering challenges and blind spots as organizations strive to become more data-driven .
The findings show the tangible impacts of these challenges , including the fact that 89 % of organizations report missing business opportunities because of data access bottlenecks .
The survey canvassed 600 data practitioners across the US and EMEA , representing a variety of public and private sector companies .
The need for organizations to be data-driven is more critical than ever in today ’ s business environment . However , the survey found that this isn ’ t yet a reality , as organizations reported only using an average of 58 % of their data in decision-making .
The report suggests that data security and access challenges are largely to blame , with most data professionals reporting a lack of visibility into data access controls and how they correlate with data security – 90 % admit they could improve their understanding of the association between the two .
“ As data moves from on-premises to the cloud , this clear disconnect between data security and access not only hurts organizations ’ datadriven initiatives and business outcomes , but also increases their risk of data leaks and breaches ,” said Matthew Carroll , CEO of Immuta .
