The top five cloud cybersecurity threats – and what to do about them

In this analysis, we present five broad categories, describe some of the more notable exploits of the recent past, and provide recommendations for how to avoid them in the future. To compile this data, we used several reports, including Wiz Inc.’s State of the Cloud for 2023, based on scans of more than 200,000 cloud customer accounts, the Cloud Security Alliance’s Top Threats to Cloud Computing survey of 700 industry experts in June 2022, and Palo Alto Networks’ Unit42 Cloud Threat Report using data from tens of thousands of sensors across their customers’ networks in April 2023.
