Cloud Security Alliance Releases New Threat List

Cloud Security Alliance has unveiled its Top Threats to Cloud Computing: Egregious Eleven report, which lists the top 11 cybersecurity problems facing cloud computing users. It is the first major update to the list since 2016, when Alliance released the Treacherous 12, although it has released reports taking a deep dive into the threats with case studies in the interim.

Data breaches still top the list, unmoved since 2016. Other perennial threats remaining on the list from last time are poor identity management, insecure APIs, account hijacking, insider threats and the abuse and nefarious use of cloud services.
That leaves room for five new threats. [...]

What's interesting about this release is its increasing focus on administrator mistakes rather than purely on external bad actors and more traditional security issues. In short, the security challenges are becoming more nuanced, according to Alliance, which suggests a gradual maturing of the cloud security landscape.
