Cloud Security for 2023: What to Watch for?

The rise of cloud security trends and technology has revolutionized the way organizations store and manage data, but it has also opened up new avenues for cyber criminals to launch attacks. As more organizations move their critical operations to cloud based platforms, the number of cloud-based attacks is expected to increase in 2023. These types of attacks can be particularly challenging to detect and defend against, as they often exploit vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure or misconfigurations of cloud security services. 

With the constant evolution of cloud technology, it’s crucial for organizations to stay informed about the latest trends and predictions for cloud-based attacks. In this blog, we’ll explore the key trends that are expected to shape the landscape of cloud security in 2023, including the increased focus on IaaS attacks, growth of cloud-based malware, and the importance of multi-cloud security.

Increased focus on infrastructure as a service (IaaS) attacks

As more organizations move their infrastructure to the cloud, the risk of attacks targeting IaaS providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure is expected to increase in 2023. These attacks may involve the compromise of cloud based accounts or the exploitation of vulnerabilities in cloud-based systems and applications.

Growth of cloud-based malware

In 2023, we expect to see an increase in the use of cloud based infrastructure to deliver malware and other malicious payloads. Hackers may use cloud-based services to host malware-as-a-service (MaaS) platforms or to deliver malware payloads via cloud-based applications or services.

Increased use of cloud-based attacks in targeted campaigns

In 2023, we expect to see an increase in the use of cloud-based attacks in targeted campaigns, with hackers using cloud-based infrastructure to deliver targeted attacks or to maintain a foothold in victim networks. These attacks may involve the use of cloud-based malware or the exploitation of vulnerabilities in cloud-based systems and applications.

Rising importance of multi-cloud security

As organizations increasingly adopt multi-cloud strategies, the risk of attacks that span multiple cloud environments is expected to increase in 2023. This trend highlights the importance of implementing a comprehensive multi-cloud security strategy to protect against these threats.

To prepare for these predictions and reduce the risk of attack, organizations need to take a proactive approach to cloud security. This includes:

  1. Implementing a multi-layered security strategy: Organizations should implement a multi-layered security strategy that covers both the infrastructure and applications in the cloud. This should include a combination of technical controls, policies, and procedures to ensure comprehensive security.
  2. Staying up-to-date on security threats: Organizations should stay informed about the latest threats and trends in cloud security, so they can take appropriate measures to protect their environment.
  3. Conducting regular security assessments: Regular security assessments are critical to identifying and addressing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in the cloud environment.
  4. Investing in security training: Organizations should invest in security training for their employees, to ensure that everyone understands the importance of cloud security and how to protect against threats.

In conclusion, as cloud technology continues to advance, organizations can expect to see a shift in the types of cloud-based attacks they face in 2023. By taking a proactive approach to security and investing in the right tools and training, organizations can reduce the risk of attack and protect their critical data and applications in the cloud.
