Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Steve Riley is a Field CTO at Netskope . According to a recent survey from the Cloud Security Alliance , cloud issues and misconfigurations remain the leading causes of breaches and outages—and 58% of respondents report concerns about security in the cloud. Their worries are well-founded. Nearly every day, we see examples of a company's sensitive data spilling out of leaky clouds . According to my company's July 2021 Cloud and Threat Report , "More than 35% of all workloads are exposed to the public internet within AWS, Azure and GCP, with RDP servers—a popular infiltration vector for attackers—exposed in 8.3% of workloads." The core to targeting cloud security failures at their root is an assessment of configuration errors.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Like many things in life, cybersecurity posture is a spectrum of states in maturity. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certifications (CMMC) are all the rage now in IT departments. You can be at one end of the spectrum of cybersecurity maturity, the other end of the spectrum, or maybe somewhere in the middle. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and CMMC have defined those security maturity models in five distinct stages. You even often hear some IT departments proudly declare that they are a level three or four or five in terms of their security maturity. We can analytically categorize the levels that compose these security states, and that is a good thing. However, some of these states assume reasonably well-known threat patterns. The challenge is that even with the best possible security posture, novel threats can bring the entire security structure crashing down. This is one of the driving conditions that make a … [Read more...] about Cybersecurity Maturity Models Can Be Immature
