The IDC cloud security survey 2021 states that as many as 98% of companies were victims of a cloud data breach within the past 18 months.
ImmuniWeb, a rapidly growing application security vendor that offers a variety of AI-driven products, has announced this week that its free Community Edition, running over 150,000 daily security tests, now has one more online tool - cloud security test.
ImmuniWeb says that the free test detects cloud storage from 19 cloud service providers, including AWS, Azure and GCP. You can see in the results the region or country your cloud data is stored for the purpose of compliance with GDPR or other national privacy laws and regulations.
According to ImmuniWeb, the technology behind the test leverages OSINT, big data and smart prediction technology based on Machine Learning to discover unprotected cloud buckets belonging to your company.
An awesome differentiator of ImmuniWeb's cloud security test is that you don't need to enter your cloud credentials, contrasted to most open-sourced or commercial cloud monitoring tools that require IAM credentials to enumerate your cloud assets and instances.
To prevent your cloud data from being exposed on the Internet, consider implementing CIS Benchmarks for Cloud and then run ImmuniWeb free cloud security test to validate your security controls.
