Navigating Cloud Security Challenges: 2024 Cloud Security Report

Майстер-клас: секрети випікання найсмачніших млинців!

03.07.2024

As businesses increasingly rely on cloud technologies for their cost-efficiency and scalability, the attack surface and potential vulnerabilities of cloud infrastructures grow. Consequently, the issue of cloud platform security becomes increasingly critical.
The exponential increase in threats underscores the urgency, as misconfigured privileged assets or sensitive data can become prime targets for cybercriminals. Larger cloud environments invariably lead to more susceptible components.

In April 2024, Cybersecurity Insiders surveyed 813 cybersecurity professionals to assess the current state of cloud environments, their capabilities, threats, and the challenges organisations face. Key findings include:
● 61% of organisations reported cloud security incidents over the past year, up from 24% the previous year. This sharp increase underscores the risks and the need for enhanced security frameworks that provide comprehensive visibility and proactive threat management.

● In 2024, the most common causes of incidents were data breaches (21%), misuse of cloud services for criminal activities (17%), and configuration and management errors (12%).● 91% of respondents prioritise AI in their cybersecurity strategies.

● 91% are concerned about their security system's ability to defend against zero-day attacks and unknown risks. This highlights the need for current security measures to prevent or mitigate attacks.
● Threat detection and response are the top priorities in cloud security (47%), while prevention strategies aimed at stopping attacks before they occur are the least prioritised (21%). This is despite the growing complexity of cyber threats.
● Firewalls are the most prevalent tool for managing cloud infrastructure (49%). However, only 37% of organisations have a clear cloud segmentation strategy, and insufficient segmentation can lead to extensive breaches. Additionally, 35% of respondents use web application firewalls (WAF), and 26% employ cloud security posture management (CSPM), indicating a multi-layered security approach.

● 65% of organisations affirm that Microsoft Azure leads the market among Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud providers. Amazon Web Services (AWS) follows at 53%, and Google Cloud at 47%.
● 25% of organisations have fully implemented a comprehensive Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), while 29% are integrating CNAPP into their systems.

Recommendations for Cloud Protection from Cybersecurity Insiders

In addition to survey data, Cybersecurity Insiders provide essential tips for safeguarding your organisation's cloud infrastructure:
● Utilise AI-based WAF to protect against zero-day threats.With 91% of respondents worried about zero-day attacks, AI-based WAFs offer countermeasures against web threats, including zero-day exploits, behavioural-based protection instead of signature-based, and immediate responses to modern attack vectors.Implement leading network security solutions.● Implement leading network security solutions.Consider top-tier cloud security solutions that scale with your cloud infrastructure. These solutions should integrate well with your company’s systems, providing comprehensive protection, supporting macro and micro-segmentation and unifying policy management across all cloud platforms.● Adopt proactive over reactive approaches.While 47% of organisations focus on threat detection, you can employ CNAPP, which minimises alerts and uses a proactive approach to cybersecurity, implementing preventive measures to reduce risks.● Leverage the extensive capabilities of CNAPP.With 43% of organisations using seven or more tools for policy configuration, a CNAPP with advanced features can protect cloud workloads, detect and respond to cloud threats, ensure code security, and manage cloud security comprehensively.● Embrace AI technologies.91% of organisations prefer AI tools to enhance cybersecurity. AI is used for proactive threat prevention and mitigating the shortage of skilled personnel.
