Cybersecurity Dive February 23, 2024
Threat actors are targeting organizations’ inconsistent cloud security systems to intrude networks and maintain persistence.
Dive Brief:
- Organizations with weak cloud security controls and gaps in cross-domain visibility are getting outmaneuvered by threat actors and struck by intrusions, CrowdStrike said Wednesday in its annual Global Threat Report.
- Cloud environment intrusions jumped 75% from 2022 to 2023, as threat actors abused unique cloud features to initiate attacks, the report found.
- “This is not surprising,” said Adam Meyers, head of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike. “We’ve seen more and more organizations deploying more and more cloud resources without necessarily having a cohesive or equivalent security posture for their cloud deployments as they do in their traditional enterprise deployments.”
