Human error and phishing<\/a> may be the top vector of cyberattacks<\/a>, but centralized cloud<\/a> environments are the Achilles’ heel of governments, businesses, and organizations, around the world.<\/p>\n

As the July 19 CrowdStrike global outage<\/a> proved, countless models depend on centralized clouds, and when disaster strikes, the consequences can be devastating<\/i>.<\/p>\n

In a recent report, Thales Group found that cloud resources have become the biggest target<\/a> for attackers. While cloud security spending reaches an all-time high level, security incidents continue to escalate as on-premises digital infrastructure<\/a> \u2014 that offer more security \u2014 becomes a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

The vulnerability of cloud environments is nothing new. In 2023, IBM found that 82% of breaches<\/a> involved data stored in the cloud. Cloud misconfigurations<\/a>, disabled multi-factor authentications<\/a> (MFAs), and social engineering have been blamed for the global wave of attacks on cloud environments.<\/p>\n

But is there something else going on in the background? Technology experts believe there is. The problem? Cloud itself.<\/p>\n
