Why Traditional Cloud Security Isn’t Enough
Cloud security best practices once relied on firewalls and manual audits – but modern threats like those in Explosive Cybersecurity Threats: 2025 Trends demand smarter solutions:
Common Vulnerabilities
- Misconfigurations: Unsecured AWS buckets caused 1.2M-record leak in 2023
- Insecure APIs: Authentication bypasses via poorly designed endpoints
- Access Overload: 68% of breaches start with overprivileged accounts
Hybrid Cloud Risks
Mixed environments create unique challenges according to Sysdig’s research:
- Policy inconsistencies across platforms
- Critical threats hidden in data silos
- Manual monitoring misses real-time anomalies
