Top 2022 Threats to cloud Computing
Sharing an interesting report I came across from Cloud Security Alliance on Top 2022 Threats to cloud Computing - featuring 11 critical security issues to cloud environments highlighting cloud threats, vulnerabilities, and risks.
- Insufficient Identity, Credentials, Access, and Key Management
- Insecure Interfaces and APIs
- Misconfiguration and Inadequate Change Control - Gartner predicts that through 2025, 99% 🤯of cloud security failures will be due to misconfigurations aka customer fault!
- Lack of Cloud Security Architecture and Strategy
- Insecure Software Development
- Unsecured Third-Party Resources
- System Vulnerabilities
- Accidental Cloud Data Disclosure
- Misconfiguration and Exploitation of Serverless and Container Workloads
- Organized Crime/Hackers/APT
- Cloud Storage Data Exfiltration
That Gartner prediction about misconfigurations being the root cause of most failures really hits home. I’ve seen teams rush deployments without proper guardrails, and the smallest mistake can open huge risks. Do you think stronger automation frameworks could help reduce these common cloud computing missteps?
