In this interview, Ron Zalkind, CTO and co-founder of CloudLock, talks about the top cloud security threats, illustrates how the power of the cloud can influence the agility of a modern security architecture, explains the main difficulties associated with implementing security policies in both public and private clouds, and more.
Now that the cloud market is mature and the majority of enterprises have embraced what it has to offer, what do you see as the top cloud security threats?
The major cloud platforms, such as Google Apps, Salesforce, Amazon AWS and others, have created highly-scalable and secure platforms. While the risk of an entire platform-level compromise has gone down, the security focus has moved to the most difficult component of a system to secure: the users. While attackers use a variety of attacks, from spear phishing to malware to compromise user credentials, users frequently expose sensitive data through oversharing or misuse.
