Security News > 2021 > April > How the quick shift to the cloud has led to more security risks
A report released Tuesday by Palo Alto Networks threat intelligence team Unit 42 examines how the cloud migration has affected security and what organizations can do to better protect themselves.
The rise in security incidents has been triggered in part by the inability of many organizations to automate cloud security.
Previous research from Unit 42 found that 65% of publicly disclosed security incidents in the cloud were due to customer misconfigurations, a problem that could have been addressed through automated security controls.
The first step in making cloud security and compliance easier is to understand how your developers and business teams are using the cloud today.
Successful risk management in the cloud requires that security teams be able to leverage these APIs to manage workload security at scale.
APIs are difficult to use without having engineers on your security team who know how to code and automate security processes as part of the CI/CD pipeline.
