In his new cybersecurity strategy, Biden identifies cloud security as a major threat
The federal government's increased focus on #cloudsecurity can help inform the private sector's approach.
What is the current state of cloud security?
The federal government currently has limited tools to manage significant disruptions in cloud services. President Biden's new cybersecurity strategy recognizes cloud security as a major threat, prompting discussions about reforms. One potential change includes requiring cloud service providers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google to verify user identities to enhance security against foreign hackers.
Why is the cloud considered a target for cyberattacks?
The cloud consolidates numerous software applications in one location, making it a prime target for cybercriminals. Unlike traditional software that may only be a single target, the cloud hosts many applications together, creating a 'basket of golden eggs' that attracts threat actors. Additionally, users often lack visibility into the security measures implemented by cloud service providers, which can lead to vulnerabilities.
How does the government view the risks associated with cloud computing?
The U.S. government acknowledges that its information is vulnerable in the cloud. The National Cybersecurity Strategy highlights the need for proactive measures to protect critical infrastructure. While the cloud offers a way to modernize outdated systems at a lower cost, it also introduces new risks that must be carefully managed to avoid creating additional security challenges.
