With high chances of user error, limited security resources, and constantly evolving computing environments, commercial and public organizations need cybersecurity resources to help protect their data and workloads in the cloud. Download this white paper to learn what CIS resources can help secure your cloud environments.

For lean security teams, the more important question is how to make cloud security work, especially as the cloud footprint grows faster than security resources. It explains how security teams with less than 20, 10, or even 5 members can make cloud security work from here forward.

Cloud computing was the lifeline that kept many companies running during the pandemic. But it was a classic case of medicine that comes with serious side effects. Having anywhere, anytime access...

Microsoft is rolling out its usual host of cloud security features and services at this week's Ignite 2022 conference, with the focus on what's happening in and outside the firewall. Protecting against sensitive information being shared by teams is also a theme, according to the show briefing, although some of the newly-announced security features have been previewed with Redmond Microsoft 365 E5 license users.

With this cloud computing market outlook, there is also a growth in the cloud computing threat landscape, which has resulted in the need for cloud security provisions. Over the years, cloud security has taken different trends and dimensions to ensure that cloud resources are protected against attacks: A TechRepublic report suggests that the cloud security market will surpass $123 billion by 2032.

Cloud security became much more complicated as COVID-19 hit and remote/hybrid workforces emerged. Organizations are struggling to sufficiently secure new cloud environments implemented during the pandemic while maintaining legacy equipment and trying to adapt their overall security strategy to the evolving landscape.

The X-Force report pulls data from IBM's threat visibility, including X-Force Threat Intelligence data, hundreds of penetration tests, incident response engagements, and data provided by report contributor Intezer between July 2021 and June 2022. Cloud vulnerabilities are on the rise - Amid a sixfold increase in new cloud vulnerabilities over the past six years, 26% of cloud compromises that X-Force responded to were caused by attackers exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities, becoming the most common entry point observed.
