Instances of provocation and intimidation at sea are frequent, and there is an increasing risk that these tactics could lead to direct, high-intensity confrontation. In an interview, Admiral Stéphane Verwaerde, Thales Group defence advisor, highlights&nbsp;that maritime threats have changed a great deal in recent years as they&nbsp;come from new types of weapons, new platforms and developments in the electromagnetic environment.&nbsp;</p> 13 Oct 2020 2737428 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2020-10/shutterstock_1171128298_copyright_FOTOGRIN_shutterstock_V2_0.jpg /en/group/journalist/press-release/global-cloud-tipping-point-2020-thales-data-threat-report-global According to the 2020 Thales Data Threat Report – çÛÁ¦ÊÓƵ Edition with research and analysis by IDC, organizations reached a global cloud tipping point causing them to struggle with security challenges of digital transformation (DX). Today, half (50%) of all corporate data is stored in the cloud and nearly half (48%) of that data is considered sensitive. With multi-cloud usage becoming the new normal for companies, all respondents said at least some of the sensitive data stored in the cloud is not encrypted and 49% globally indicated that they have experienced a breach. In addition to DX and multi-cloud complexities, the global study shows that quantum computing has skyrocketed as a major concern with 72% of organizations claiming it will affect their security and cryptographic operations in the next five years. 24 Feb 2020 2729387 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2020-10/shutterstock_1171128298_copyright_FOTOGRIN_shutterstock_V2_0.jpg
