Orca Security public cloud security report reveals how most large cloud breaches happen

Orca Security 2020 State of Public Cloud Security Report

Many thanks to the great folks at Orca Security, who have sponsored my writing for the past week.

You’re probably familiar with the shared responsibility model. The basic idea is that public cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) keep their platforms secure, but customers are still responsible for securing the workloads, data, and processes they run inside the cloud – just as they do in their on-prem world.

The world of cybersecurity isn’t fair. Security teams need to secure everything, but attackers need only find one weak link. For most organizations, cloud workload security is dependent upon the installation and maintenance of security agents across all assets. Something that rarely happens, as this report shows.

For example, 81% of organizations have at least one neglected internet-facing workload.
