How Crowdstrike Traces Attack Paths To Sensitive Data In The Cloud
CrowdStrike, June 30,2025
As identity abuse and misconfigurations fuel a rise in cloud breaches, defenders need more than visibility, they need a blueprint to stop attackers before they reach high-value data.
As organizations adopt hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, the attack surface quickly expands, often outpacing defender's ability to see and stop threats. This growing complexity fuels risk - creating blind spots adversaries exploit through cloud misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and unpatched vulnerabilities. These conditions allow attackers to break in, move laterally, and gain higher levels of access.
