Cloud security-Part 5:Auditing cloud security for improvement

According to predictions in The 2020 Data Attack Surface Report1, by 2025 there will be around 100 zettabytes of data stored in the cloud globally. That’s 100 billion (100 followed by 9 zeros) GBs. Total global data storage is projected to exceed 200 zettabytes by 2025.
