As cloud platforms become more prevalent, IT and DevOps teams face additional concerns and uncertainties related to securing their cloud instances.

230 million misconfigurations are identified on average each day, proving this risk is prevalent and widespread. "Cloud-based operations have become the rule rather than the exception, and cybercriminals have adapted to capitalize on misconfigured or mismanaged cloud environments," said Greg Young, vice president of cybersecurity for Trend Micro.

"We believe migrating to the cloud can be the best way to fix security problems by redefining the corporate IT perimeter and endpoints. However, that can only happen if organizations follow the shared responsibility model for cloud security."

Understand the Shared Responsibility Model: Although cloud providers have built-in security, customers are responsible for securing their own data.

Monitor for misconfigured and exposed systems: Appropriate tools can quickly and easily identify misconfigurations in your cloud environments.
