From shadow data to misconfigs, and overpermissioning to multicloud sprawl, our cloud security slideshow helps security pros understand the threat horizon.
What are the main cloud security threats in 2023?
Enterprises should be aware of several critical cloud security threats in 2023, including shadow data, misconfigurations, overpermissioning, and multicloud sprawl. These threats arise from the increasing complexity and volume of cloud services used by organizations, which can lead to vulnerabilities if not properly managed.
How prevalent is cloud computing in enterprises?
Cloud computing is becoming increasingly prevalent, with Gartner estimating that over 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms by 2025, up from just 30% in 2021. This rapid adoption brings both opportunities and security challenges for organizations.
Why are cloud breaches considered inevitable?
Experts believe that cloud breaches are inevitable due to the vast number of cloud services utilized by enterprises—averaging close to 2,000 different services. This extensive use creates a complex security landscape where assets can easily be deployed outside of established security policies, increasing the risk of misconfigurations and breaches.
