Unit 42 Cloud Threat Report, 2H 2020

Learn How to Protect Your Cloud Accounts From IAM Misconfigurations

Cloud is now the dominant platform for enterprise application development. Based on data from the 2020 State of Cloud Native Security Report, up to 64% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud in just the next 24 months.

As architectures shift to take full advantage of cloud native technologies, governing identity and access management (IAM) will become an even more critical component of cloud security. In this latest report, Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 cloud threat researchers have undertaken major new research on IAM in an ongoing effort to assess the security posture of cloud infrastructure.

Overall, the findings indicate that identity misconfigurations are prevalent across cloud accounts and represent a significant security risk to organizations, which can lead to costly data breaches.
