Cloud apps are typically quick and easy to sign up for. The user often assumes that they don&#8217;t need to worry about security because it&#8217;s handled.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an incorrect assumption because cloud security is a shared model. The provider of the solution handles securing the backend infrastructure. But the user is responsible for configuring security settings in their account properly.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem with misconfiguration is huge. It\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudsecurityalliance.org\/blog\/2020\/05\/05\/the-state-of-cloud-security-2020-report-understanding-misconfiguration-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">number one cause<\/a> of cloud data breaches. It\u2019s also an unforced error. Misconfiguration means that a company has made a mistake. It hasn&#8217;t adequately secured its cloud application.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps they gave too many employees administrative privileges. Or, they may have neglected to turn on a security function. One that prevented the downloading of cloud files by an unauthorized user.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Misconfiguration covers a wide range of negligent behavior. It all has to do with cloud security settings and practices. A finding in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.fugue.co\/state-of-cloud-security-2021-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The State of Cloud Security 2021<\/a><\/em> report shed light on how common this issue is. 45% of organizations experience between 1 and 50 cloud misconfigurations per day.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the main causes of misconfiguration are:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lack of adequate oversight and controls<\/li><li>A team lacking security awareness<\/li><li>Too many cloud APIs to manage<\/li><li>No adequate cloud environment monitoring<\/li><li>Negligent insider behavior<\/li><li>Not enough expertise in cloud security<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the tips below to reduce your risk of a cloud data breach and improve cloud security.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enable Visibility into Your Cloud Infrastructure<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you know all the different cloud apps employees are using at your business? If not, you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s estimated that shadow IT use is approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/track.g2.com\/resources\/shadow-it-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10x the size<\/a> of known cloud use.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When an employee uses a cloud app without authorization, it\u2019s considered \u201cshadow IT.\u201d This is because the app is in the shadows so to speak, outside the purview of the company\u2019s IT team.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How can you protect something you don\u2019t know about? This is why shadow cloud applications are so dangerous. And why they often result in breaches due to misconfiguration.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gain visibility into your entire cloud environment, so you know what you need to protect. One way you can do this is through a cloud access security application.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restrict Privileged Accounts<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more privileged accounts you have, the higher the risk of a misconfiguration. There should be very few users that can change security configurations. You don\u2019t want someone that doesn\u2019t know better to accidentally open a vulnerability. Such as removing a cloud storage sharing restriction. It could leave your entire environment a sitting duck for hackers.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Audit privileged accounts in all cloud tools. Then, reduce the number of administrative accounts to a least needed to operate.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Put in Place Automated Security Policies<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automation helps mitigate human error. Automating as many security policies as possible helps prevent cloud security breaches.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you use a feature like sensitivity labels in Microsoft 365, you can set a \u201cdo not copy\u201d policy. It will follow the file through each supported cloud application. Users don\u2019t need to do anything to enable it once you put the policy in place.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use a Cloud Security Audit Tool (Like Microsoft Secure Score)<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How secure is your cloud environment? How many misconfigurations might there be right now? It\u2019s important to know this information so you can correct issues to reduce risk.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use an auditing tool, like <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/security\/defender\/microsoft-secure-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Secure Score<\/a>. You want a tool that can scan your cloud environment and let you know where problems exist. It should also be able to provide recommended remediation steps.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set Up Alerts for When Configurations Change<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you get your cloud security settings right, they won\u2019t necessarily stay that way. Several things can cause a change in a security setting without you realizing it. These include:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An employee with elevated permissions accidentally changes them<\/li><li>A change caused by an integrated 3rd party plug-in<\/li><li>Software updates<\/li><li>A hacker that has compromised a privileged user credential<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be proactive by setting up alerts. You should have an alert for any significant change in your cloud environment. For example, when the setting to force multi-factor authentication gets turned off.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an alert is set up, then your team knows right away when a change occurs to an important security setting. This allows them to take immediate steps to research and rectify the situation.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have a Cloud Specialist Check Your Cloud Settings<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business owners, executives, and office managers aren\u2019t cybersecurity experts. No one should expect them to know how to configure the best security for your organization\u2019s needs.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s best to have a cloud security specialist from a trusted IT company check your settings. We can help ensure that they\u2019re set up to keep your data protected without restricting your team.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve Cloud Security &amp; Lower Your Chances for a Data Breach<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most work is now done in the cloud, and companies store data in these online environments. Don\u2019t leave your company at risk by neglecting misconfiguration. Give us a call today to set up a cloud security assessment.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;<br><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/illustrations\/lock-padlock-access-security-3216823\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Featured Image Credit<\/a><\/p><p>This Article has been Republished with Permission from <a rel=\"canonical noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thetechnologypress.com\/6-ways-to-prevent-misconfiguration-the-main-cause-of-cloud-breaches\/\" title=\"6 Ways to Prevent Misconfiguration (the Main Cause of Cloud Breaches)\" target=\"_blank\">The Technology Press.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Misconfiguration of cloud solutions is often overlooked when companies plan cybersecurity strategies.
