Most of the cyberattacks on cloud environments have been due to compromised credentials, says Centrify.
Survey results released Wednesday by security firm Centrify show how cloud environments can be vulnerable, while its CEO offers advice for protecting your cloud-based assets.
This reliance on the cloud also brings with it several challenges.
The survey focused particularly on the security risks involved in a cloud environment.
Some 65% of those surveyed said they've witnessed attempted cyberattacks on their cloud environments.
"With multicloud strategies becoming the norm, the ideal security approach relies on zero trust principles for strong authentication, employs least privilege to restrict lateral movement, and leverages key benefits of the cloud economy in order to minimize attack surfaces."
