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.
Akira Ransomware Hackers Targeting SonicWall DevicesFirewall maker SonicWall said Friday all customers who used its cloud backup services are at increased "risk of targeted attacks" following a recent cyberattack. The California firm in September disclosed that unidentified hackers launched brute-force attacks against servers storing backup files.

We discovered Azure Storage Account credentials exposed in Axis Communications’ Autodesk Revit plugin, allowing unauthorized modification of cloud-hosted files. This exposure, combined with vulnerabilities in Autodesk Revit, could enable supply-chain attacks targeting end users.
A 13-year-old flaw with a CVSS score of 10 in the popular data storage service allows for full host takeover, and more than 300k instances are currently exposed.
A new hacking competition called Zeroday Cloud, focused on open-source cloud and AI tools, announced a total prize pool of $4.5 million in bug bounties for researchers that submit exploits for various targets. [...]
In the era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies, organizations are increasingly implementing security measures to protect sensitive data and ensure regulatory compliance. Among these measures, AI-SPM (AI Security Posture Management) solutions have gained traction to secure AI pipelines, sensitive data assets, and the overall AI ecosystem. These solutions help
