Dangerous Cloud Blind Spots: What Check Point's 2025 Report Means for Your Organization

Cloud breaches are growing fast—and most organizations are flying partially blind.
According to Check Point's 2025 Cloud Security Report, 65% of organizations experienced a cloud-related security incident last year. Even worse? Most of them didn’t detect or remediate the incident for days or weeks.
As cloud adoption accelerates across public, private, and hybrid environments, so do the threats. And according to Check Point, organizations are struggling to get a full picture of what’s happening in their environments.
“The gap between cloud scale and cloud visibility is creating dangerous blind spots,” says TJ Gonen, VP of Cloud Security at Check Point.
Where the Risks Are
The report highlights a few key factors putting organizations at risk:
Fragmented tooling: Most teams use 5+ separate security tools to manage different cloud environments.
Visibility gaps: A substantial percentage of teams say they have only partial visibility into workload and data movement.
Slow response: Only 6% of respondents say they can remediate a cloud incident within one hour.
Misconfigurations: The leading root cause of cloud breaches remains misconfigurations, especially IAM and storage.
What Needs to Change
The key takeaway? Traditional perimeter-based security isn’t enough in the cloud. Organizations need:
Unified security across cloud providers
Centralized visibility and control planes
Prevention-first architectures
Automated policy enforcement and remediation
This isn’t about layering on more tools—it’s about consolidating, simplifying, and moving toward intelligent, proactive security.
Where Check Point Stands Out
Check Point’s CloudGuard platform addresses many of these gaps by offering:
Unified posture management across AWS, Azure, GCP
Automated detection/remediation for misconfigurations and drift
AI-driven threat detection to flag anomalies in real time
Centralized policy management across multi-cloud workloads
Plus, it integrates directly with leading DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
