That means not only improving detection and response for emerging threats, but also building stronger resilience into infrastructure so that it can better withstand attack. This might be a significant undertaking. After two years of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/tag\/digital-transformation\/\">digital transformation<\/a> during the pandemic, many organizations have a much larger\u00a0attack surface\u00a0today than they did pre-COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/tag\/cloud\/\">Cloud <\/a>resources are particularly vulnerable, as many have been accidentally misconfigured and sit exposed, without protection. As such, online databases and storage buckets could be an attractive target for attackers should fears over cyberattacks escalating beyond the conflict in Ukraine materialize. In fact, researchers have already observed raids on cloud databases in recent weeks, and there are plenty of threat actors out there waiting to take advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The value of the public cloud<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud systems are increasingly the bedrock on which digital transformation is built. They provide a relatively low-cost, scalable and flexible way to store and manage data \u2013 with a lower management burden for IT, built-in disaster recovery and anywhere, anytime access. As a backend for applications, databases stored in the public cloud could contain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Business-critical corporate data<\/li><li>Personally identifiable information belonging to employees and customers<\/li><li>Highly sensitive IP and trade secrets<\/li><li>IT\/admin information such as APIs or encryption keys, which could be leveraged in future attacks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying that if any of this data found its way into the wrong hands, it could be hugely damaging for a victim organization, potentially leading to regulatory fines, legal costs, IT overtime costs, lost productivity and sales, customer churn and reputational damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The problem with cloud databases<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge is that cloud storage and databases are easily misconfigured. And once left exposed, they could be relatively easily found with off-the-shelf internet scanning tools. This exemplifies the challenge defenders have: they need to get security right every time, whereas attackers need only get lucky once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge is particularly acute given the complexity of modern enterprise cloud environments. Most organizations are running a combination of on-premises and public\/private clouds, and investing with multiple providers to spread their risk.\u00a0One report suggests\u00a092% have a multi-cloud strategy, while 82% are investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/tag\/hybrid-cloud\/\">hybrid cloud<\/a>. It\u2019s difficult for IT teams to keep up-to-speed with the functionality of one <a href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/tag\/csp\/\">cloud service provider <\/a>(CSP), never mind two or three. And these CSPs are constantly adding new features in response to customer requests. While this provides organizations with a huge set of granular options, it arguably also makes it harder to do the simple things well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s especially problematic for developer or DevOps teams, which often don\u2019t have specialized security training.\u00a0A recent analysis\u00a0of over 1.3 million Android and iOS apps, revealed that 14% of those that used public cloud services in their backend were exposing user information via misconfigurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As\u00a0mentioned\u00a0in a previous article, cloud misconfiguration can take many forms, the most common being:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Missing access restrictions<\/li><li>Security group policies that are too permissive<\/li><li>A lack of permissions controls<\/li><li>Misunderstood internet connectivity paths<\/li><li>Misconfigured virtualized network functions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cloud systems are already being targeted<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of an escalation in hostilities, exposed cloud systems would be a natural target. Many are relatively easy to discover and compromise: for example, accounts left open without encryption or password protection. In fact,\u00a0researchers have already observed\u00a0some activity of this sort \u2013 in this case, targeting cloud databases located in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of a random sample of 100 misconfigured cloud databases, the research found that 92 had been compromised. Some had file names replaced with anti-war messages, but the largest number were completely wiped using a simple script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk to Western organizations is, therefore, of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Files held to ransom<\/strong>:\u00a0Recently published intelligence\u00a0suggests that pro-Russian cybercrime groups are gearing up to attack targets. They may combine hacktivist-style targeting with tactics designed to monetize attacks. The contents of cloud databases have been held hostage\u00a0many times before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Destructive attacks<\/strong>:\u00a0As has already been observed, it\u2019s relatively easy to wipe the contents of cloud databases completely, once accessed. The script detected in recent pro-Ukraine attacks is said to have resembled that used in the\u00a0infamous \u201cMeow\u201d attacks\u00a0of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Data leakage<\/strong>:&nbsp;Before wiping data completely, threat actors may look to analyze it for any sensitive information, and leak that first in order to maximize the financial and reputational damage inflicted on victim organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to secure your cloud databases<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tackling the cloud misconfiguration challenge is, sadly, not as easy as flicking a switch. However, there are several changes you can make today to help mitigate the risks highlighted above. They include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Shifting security left in DevOps, by building automated security and configuration checks into the development process<\/li><li>Continuously managing configuration settings, with cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools<\/li><li>Using CSPs\u2019 built-in tools for monitoring and secure management of cloud infrastructure<\/li><li>Using policy as code (PaC) tools to automatically scan and assess compliance posture in the cloud<\/li><li>Encrypting sensitive data as standard, so that if access controls are left misconfigured, hackers can\u2019t view what\u2019s inside<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As cloud infrastructure grows, so does the cyberattack surface. War or no war, these best practices should be applied to mitigate mounting cyber risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For weeks, cybersecurity experts and government agencies have been urging organizations to enhance their cyber-defenses due to the increased threat of cyberattacks amid Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":57422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[154,9621],"tags":[1072,3621,8534,614,2023,573,2893],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-57420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cloud-computing","category-emerging-technologies","tag-cloud","tag-cloud-storage","tag-cloud-systems","tag-csp","tag-digital-transformation","tag-eset","tag-hybrid-cloud","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ESET-cloud-storage-public-cloud-cloud-databases-Cloud-systems-Techxmedia.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Techx Admin","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/techxadmin\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.2 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"For weeks, cybersecurity experts and government agencies have been urging organizations to enhance their cyber-defenses due to the increased threat of cyberattacks amid Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Techx Admin\"\/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/how-secure-is-your-cloud-storage\/\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 5.0.2\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TECHx Media - Online media and publishing platform for the technology community, covering top news and trends from MEA region&#039;s tech and business world.\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How secure is your cloud storage?
