Top Risks to Be Aware Of:

• Data Breaches :80% of cloud breaches come from simple misconfigurations

• Financial Loss: $4.88M – the average cost of a breach, up 10% from last year

• Lack of Encryption: Unencrypted data is vulnerable in transit and at rest

• Unpatched Vulnerabilities: Outdated software leaves systems open to attack

• Inadequate Visibility Across Multi-Cloud Environments: Limited visibility across clouds complicates threat detection

• Misconfigured Cloud Settings: Misconfigured settings (like public data storage) cause major risks

• Downtime Costs: Downtime can cost $300K–$5M per hour

• Compliance Issues: Compliance demands are growing—$161B market by 2034

What Helps:

·        Strengthen Configurations: Use Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to catch misconfigurations.

·        Data Encryption: Encrypt data to meet security and compliance standards.

·        Enhance Multi-Cloud Visibility: Centralize visibility across cloud platforms.

·        Automate Patch Management: Automate patching to reduce vulnerabilities.

Cloud tools are powerful—but staying secure requires awareness and proactive action.
