'Toxic cloud triad' puts four in 10 organizations at risk

Quick Summary:

It might sound like a Chinese secret society, but a new report warns that a 'toxic cloud triad' of publicly exposed, critically vulnerable and highly privileged cloud workloads is putting almost four in 10 organizations at risk.

Security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities combine to dramatically increase cloud risk according to the Tenable Cloud Risk Report.

The report reveals that 38 percent of organizations have cloud workloads that meet all three of these toxic cloud criteria, representing a perfect storm of exposure for cyber attackers to target.
