Almost all cloud users, roles, services, and resources grant excessive permissions leaving organizations vulnerable to attack expansion in the event of compromise, a new report from Palo Alto’s Unit 42 has revealed. The security vendor’s research discovered that misconfigured identity and access management (IAM) is opening the door to malicious actors that are targeting cloud infrastructure and credentials in attacks.
The findings indicate that when it comes to IAM in the cloud, organizations are struggling to put good governance in place. The report also identifies five attack groups that have been detected targeting cloud environments and reveals their attack methods.
