The cloud is the backbone of modern business infrastructure. From storing customer data to running mission-critical applications, organizations of all sizes are shifting to cloud platforms for scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
But here’s the catch:
With great cloud power comes great security responsibility.
The Real Threat Landscape
Did you know that:
- Over 45% of all data breaches in the last year involved cloud-based systems?
- Human error and misconfigurations are among the top causes of cloud vulnerabilities?
- Most companies are not even aware of the risks until after an incident occurs?
If your business uses AWS, Azure, GCP, or even a private cloud setup — you are already at risk if your cloud environment isn’t properly secured and audited.
Use Cases:
There are n number of use cases and reported treads. Here is few..
1. Open Dev Database with No Password
A mid-sized fintech startup used a managed database in the cloud for testing purposes. The development team forgot to restrict public access. Within 24 hours, the database was indexed by search engines and then hit by bots scraping user data.
Impact:
- Over 12,000 user records exposed
- Blacklisted by partners for non-compliance
- Had to pause operations for a week to fix infrastructure
Root Cause: No access controls, no audit trail, no alerts.
Fix: A simple IAM audit could have prevented it.
2. Overprivileged IAM User Compromised
An employee with full admin rights accidentally clicked on a phishing email. The attacker gained access to the cloud console and launched multiple compute instances for cryptomining.
Impact:
- Cloud bill shot up by $20,000 in 3 days
- Incident response team had to be brought in
- Client data was at risk
Root Cause: Over-permissive roles and lack of MFA
Fix: Role-based access review and MFA enforcement
3. Shadow IT via Third-Party App
A marketing team used a third-party analytics tool and connected it to the cloud storage without IT approval. The tool stored logs unencrypted and lacked region restrictions.
Impact:
- Personal data of EU users ended up on US servers
- Violated GDPR policies
- Company fined and forced to disclose the breach
Root Cause: No cloud governance policy, no audit of API integrations
Fix: Cloud security audit and strict outbound API controls.
