Cloud Misconfiguration
Cloud Misconfiguration occurs when the settings of a cloud service are incorrectly set up or managed. This can happen when a person doesn’t have enough knowledge or experience with the cloud service or when they accidentally set up the wrong configuration. When it happens, it can expose sensitive data and make it vulnerable to cyber attacks.
For example, if a company stores their confidential data on the cloud and the cloud service is misconfigured, hackers may be able to access that data without any trouble. It’s important to understand how to properly configure cloud services to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data.
So, always make sure that your cloud service settings are properly configured and managed. Always use strong passwords, keep your software updated and only allow the right people to access data to avoid cloud misconfiguration.
