Cloud Security Consulting

On average, 44% of cloud service user privileges are configured incorrectly, which can make your business vulnerable to account hacking or data exfiltration. Also, three out of five privileged users of cloud services have the rights of so-called shadow administrators. They can make changes at the administrator level and potentially damage the cloud service.

It’s a common problem when organizations don’t properly secure the interfaces for their cloud-based infrastructure. Cybercriminals can find and manipulate potential procedures for accessing and exfiltrating exposed data from a company’s cloud domain.

A cloud-based infrastructure is located outside your corporate network. It operates on hardware that the company does not own. That makes traditional software for network monitoring insufficient for cloud environments. Add to this that many businesses lack security tools in place. This can limit an organization’s ability to monitor its cloud-based resources and protect against data breaches.

No matter what your cloud strategy is and what security systems are in place, you have to strictly maintain your authorization protocols. Compromised access protocols or admin credentials allow hackers to gain immediate access, potentially without a company’s knowledge.
