With the rapid adoption of cloud technologies, organizations are rushing to migrate their workloads and data to the cloud — often at a breakneck pace. Cyber hackers are not far behind in this race. On-premises systems are no longer the primary targets. Cloud environments, including both hybrid and multi-cloud setups, have become enticing targets for malicious attackers. Adding to this challenge, attacks are becoming more sophisticated day by day. Relying solely on traditional security methods such as static rules and signature-based detection — often requiring human intervention — is no longer sustainable. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a game changer in this regard. By enabling proactive threat detection and automated workflows, AI has the potential to drive a paradigm shift in cloud security operations.
Understanding Cloud Threats
Cloud environments are becoming increasingly complex. This creates a double-edged sword, as the same complexity that enables scalability also makes these environments vulnerable to novel threats. Let’s explore some common cloud threats:
