Although Cloud is considered secure, the increasing digitalization of business processes and services means that an enterprise or a cloud provider can fall prey to a number of threats, including malware, virus attacks, or network breaches. While threats that call for the attention of the security teams or CISOs vary widely depending on the enterprise’s environment, architecture, database, applications, and business objectives, major cloud security threats your organization should prepare for are:
- Vulnerable access controls
- Insecure interfaces/APIs
- Misconfiguration of the cloud platform/wrong setup
- Data breaches, loss, and leakage
- Hijacking of accounts
- Insider threats
