Closing The Cloud Security Gap
Palo Alto Networks, Thursday, October 9th, 2025
The main tenet of cloud security is simple: Apply the same rigorous cybersecurity best practices you use elsewhere.
But that's easier said than done. Since the emergence of cloud technology, organizations have been working to secure it to varying degrees of success. There are a few factors that make cloud security uniquely challenging:
- High level of reuse of cloud resources.
- Complexity of cloud-native technologies, like containers and serverless architectures.
- An expanding attack surface rife with misconfigurations.
Attackers are taking advantage. Our 2025 Global Incident Response Report (IR report) highlights this critical challenge.
