As most companies make the rapid shift to work-from-home to stem the spread of COVID-19, a significant percentage of IT and cloud professionals are concerned about maintaining the security of their cloud environments during the transition, according to a survey conducted by Fugue.
Preventing cloud misconfiguration remains a significant challenge for cloud engineering and security teams.
The top causes of cloud misconfiguration cited are a lack of awareness of cloud security and policies, a lack of adequate controls and oversight, too many cloud APIs and interfaces to adequately govern, and negligent insider behavior.
49% of cloud engineering and security teams are devoting more than 50 man hours per week managing cloud misconfiguration, with 20% investing more than 100 hours on the problem.
The National Security Agency states that "Misconfiguration of cloud resources remains the most prevalent cloud vulnerability and can be exploited to access cloud data and services."
