Background for this topic.
Cloud computing involves delivering computing services—such as storage, processing, and networking—over the internet using remote data centers. This model enables organizations to scale resources dynamically without owning physical infrastructure. In security terms, the cloud environment is defined by multi-tenant infrastructure where multiple customers share hardware and software resources managed by a cloud provider.
Key security concerns include controlling access through strong identity and access management (IAM), protecting data with encryption both at rest and in transit, and managing vulnerabilities in shared infrastructure components. The cloud’s shared responsibility model requires customers to secure their applications and data while providers secure the underlying platform. Misconfigurations, weak access controls, and insufficient monitoring can expose cloud assets to unauthorized access or data leakage, making precise configuration and continuous security assessment essential.
The General Services Administration is planning to use automation to speed up the process to determine which cloud services federal agencies are allowed to buy.
Evidence suggests an attacker gained access to the company's cloud infrastructure environment, but Oracle insists that didn't happen.
Attackers aren't just spending more time targeting the cloud — they're ruthlessly stealing more sensitive data and accessing more critical systems than ever before.
A threat actor posted data on Breachforums from an alleged supply-chain attack that affected more than 140K tenants, claiming to have compromised the cloud via a zero-day flaw in WebLogic, researchers say.
