A new report released by cloud infrastructure management company\u00a0Brainboard.co<\/a>\u00a0has discovered a crisis in the cloud security world, with professionals spending 80% of their time battling fires caused by preventable security misconfigurations in the cloud.<\/p>\n

The report found that, on average, cloud security systems are bombarded by an average of 500 security alerts per week. With the average cost of a data breach in the cloud being over $4 million, this represents a crisis for the industry and means professionals are left with little time or energy to focus on proactive measures that could improve their organization\u2019s security posture.<\/p>\n

Human Error<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Human error remains a major contributor to cloud security incidents, being cited as the main reason behind 55% of breaches. However, more than 60% of cloud and DevOps engineers are junior, which means that sometimes they don\u2019t even know they are building unsecure systems or introducing security breaches.<\/p>\n

Chafik Belhaoues<\/a>, co-founder & CEO of Brainboard, said: \u201cThis statistic makes it abundantly clear that relying solely on human vigilance in a complex cloud environment can lead to severe consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact is, organizations simply cannot afford to wait to be hacked before taking action, and taking a reactive approach is extremely expensive and unsustainable, especially with modern and sophisticated attack systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only way to remedy that is to adopt a proactive approach to security in a way that helps engineers build secure-by-design systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proactive Security in the Cloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chafik recommends some key strategies that your organization can adopt to get away from the reactive cycle.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe first big step to implementing proactive security for cloud architectures is to have an internal approved and secure library of building blocks that engineers can build with.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecondly, having a short security feedback loop that is close to users, such as \u2018security shift left\u2019, helps them build secure-by-design patterns.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, you can limit the blast radius by building isolated small cloud infrastructures. This reduces the impact to only the scoped environments or stacks.\u201d<\/p>\n
