A better way to secure the cloud

Once cloud computing began its rise to prominence as a leading business strategy for data center transformation, it didn’t take long for the malicious actors out there to adjust. Companies began using the cloud for storing their most essential data, and inevitably, the hackers followed. This is how the business world always goes – organizations evolve, and the threat landscape does as well.
In the early days, companies had fairly basic cloud security concerns to worry about. The most obvious ways to infiltrate a corporate cloud platform were through data breaches, malware, or perhaps the occasional insider threat to a network. Those avenues still exist – but because companies have gotten smart about playing defense, the hackers have begun to step up their game. According to the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), there are now a wide range of security threats for companies to be aware of beyond just the usual data breaches.
“The complexity of cloud can be the perfect place for attackers to hide, offering concealment as a launchpad for further harm,” said John Yeoh, global vice president of research for the CSA. “Unawareness of the threats, risks and vulnerabilities makes it more challenging to protect organizations from data loss.”
Yeoh recommended that companies take dramatic steps in the coming years to enhance cloud security. Simply putting up safeguards against data breaches and sniffing out insider threats isn’t enough. Here’s a rundown of five other problems that corporate IT offices should be aware of:
