Threats Revolving Around the Cloud

It is inevitable for enterprises to understand these threats before migrating their business operations to the cloud.

Cloud is considered a go-to platform in the modern-day. It is easier and faster now to access on-demand IT solutions through the cloud. However, like other technologies, this disruptive platform is also infested with some threats and risks. Thus, it is inevitable for enterprises to understand these threats before migrating their business operations to the cloud.

What are the threats?

• Cloud can be accessed from anywhere through multiple devices, and hence it could end up in visibility loss. It might become difficult to see who accesses the platform and other details.
• Data breaches are another threat due to the high vulnerability and accessibility of the cloud.
• In a hurry to migrate to the cloud people often ignore the weak security strategies. This will lead to data leaks, hacking, and other bigger risks.
• Misconfiguration is a growing threat wherein the users do not pay heed to changing the default security settings.
• Insecure APIs will create risks since they can enable cloud providers to access your data on many levels.
• Vulnerabilities in shared technology are another threat since the cloud works by sharing applications and infrastructures, which are susceptible to attacks.
• Accidental exposure of credentials, compliance violation, and insider threats are some other threats associated with the cloud

Hope you go through all these potential risks and deploy remediation methods to protect your data efficiently in the cloud.
