The Top Five Cloud Cybersecurity Threats - And What To Do About Them
SiliconANGLE , Wednesday, June 21, 2023
Cybersecurity threats continue to plague cloud infrastructures, and sadly these threats are still mostly the same from years' past.
But just because these threats continue doesn't mean that cloud security, taken as a whole tapestry, isn't as secure as on-premises equipment. That debate - which seems to have spanned a decade or more - should be put to rest forever. Two things many information technology managers have learned are that data center technology doesn't age well, and it also accumulates tremendous technical debt, the implied cost of future reworking required when problems need to be fixed or approaches become less useful over time.
Take the case of the Southwire Co. LLC, which makes electrical cabling - ironically, the kind of cabling that is installed in hyperscale cloud facilities. The 70-plus-year-old company has about two-thirds of its infrastructure mostly in Google Cloud, and that proportion continues to increase.
