Cloud Security Continues To Give It Managers Headaches. Here's Why
siliconANGLE, Thursday, November 23,2023
Cloud security continues to vex corporate information technology managers, and new research indicates that the problems are both widespread and not easily fixable, thanks to a number of weak areas.
In many cases, the procedures to secure cloud workloads has been well-known for years but aren't always applied consistently or reliably. Some old chestnuts, such as cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks on web servers, still account for almost half of today's cloud vulnerabilities, for example.
The problems cover the waterfront and aren't just structural issues. Secondary issues such as security alerts take too much time to resolve, and risky behaviors fester without any real accountability to prevent or change.
