A recent DivvyCloud survey found that in 2019, a majority of respondents reported being in the final optimization stages of their cloud journey, with 59% indicating they are in the DevOps Optimization stage (an 11% increase from 2018) Balancing cloud security and compliance to support DevOps is critical because the fundamental role of the traditional security teams has changed substantially as more organizations adopt DevOps.
