The alarming occurrence of breaches underscores the urgent need for organisations to prioritise cloud security.
racing to embrace cloud technologies for their myriad benefits. Be it private, public or a hybrid approach, the cloud offers organisations scalability, flexibility and freedom for employees to work wherever, whenever. When you add that to the promise of cost savings combined with enhanced collaboration, the cloud is a compelling proposition.
Cloud is complex with moving parts – virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes, serverless, data, networks and identities – including people and machines. And all distributed across multiple providers. According to IDC, having two cloud environments does not double the complexity, but in fact quadruples it.
Due to shorter build times and faster release cycles achieved through the use of DevOps tools, reorganising permissions across identities and entities every time new code is deployed is a challenge.To address the risk, organisations must address the “toxic cloud trilogy” of cloud workloads that are critically vulnerable, highly privileged and publicly exposed.
External exposure is a double-edged sword — necessary for doing business and a potential source of exposure. Step three is to rein in and monitor assets configured as public. AI is being harnessed by defenders to power preventative security solutions that cut through complexity to provide the concise guidance defenders need to stay ahead of attackers and prevent successful attacks. Harnessing the power of AI allows security teams to work faster, search faster, analyse faster and ultimately make decisions faster.
