At the recent Cloud Security Alliance Conference, a compelling panel on cloud security from an attacker's perspective brought together industry experts to discuss emerging threats and defense strategies. The panel featured Omri Segev Moyal (CEO of Profero Inc.), Dima Fomberg (Security Architect at Google Cloud Security), Shira Shamban (CEO and Co-founder of Solvo), and Michal Kolotov (Founder of BlueTM).
### Highlights from the Panel:
- **Targeting Cloud Environments:** Attackers are shifting focus to cloud environments due to the potential for large-scale breaches.
- **Misconfigurations:** These remain a major vulnerability, highlighting the need for diligent security practices.
- **Leveraging Native Tools:** Emphasized the importance of using native cloud security tools and robust identity and access management.
- **Continuous Education:** The panel underscored the need for ongoing education and collaboration between security and development teams to stay ahead of attackers.
### Key Insights:
"Instead of hacking thousands of customers one by one, attackers now target a single vendor in the cloud. It's the holy grail." - Omri Segev Moyal
"If we make security challenging for our users, they will bypass it. We need to build easy-to-use secure environments." - Dima Fomberg
"Identity and access management is the new perimeter in the cloud. Misconfigurations here can be disastrous." - Shira Shamban
"Attackers are gaining an advantage because they spend time learning and researching. Security engineers need to do the same." - Michael Kolotov
### Conclusion:
The discussion illuminated the critical need for organizations to understand and anticipate attacker strategies in the cloud. By focusing on proper configurations, leveraging native tools, and fostering continuous education, organizations can enhance their defense against evolving threats.
