Security News > 2021 > June > Can on-prem security experts make the move to the cloud?
As cloud computing grows in popularity across all use cases, cloud workloads have never been more attractive to malicious actors.
While defending on-premises setups is about detecting suspicious communications, cloud security is about closing open doors due to loose authorizations and misconfigurations.
A user or a team can easily specify settings that fail to provide adequate security for their cloud data since the cloud environment is very dynamic.
Since the largest source of vulnerabilities can be human error, cloud security requires rigorous education and inspection to ensure that authorizations are configured only after having a complete understanding of the risks.
At the same time, cloud computing has introduced new security risks.
Today, security teams need to prevent default loose permissions and cloud misconfigurations to reduce the risk of a cyberattack.
