How safe is your cloud computing?

Attackers are targeting cloud computing. At present, the number of attacks on cloud computing has reached the same level as the internal deployment environment.

According to a new report, increasing cloud adoption will drive cyber attackers to target the cloud environment, and the current amount of attack is almost equivalent to the amount of attack in the internal deployment environment.

According to a survey of 2,200 consumers by alert logic, a strong attack on the cloud computing environment increased from 30% to 44%, while vulnerability scans increased from 27% to 44%.

Last year, 49% of the internal data centers were hit by brute force, while 44% of cloud-computing providers were attacked.

The cloud computing Center has seen most network application attacks ranging from 44% to 31%.

Alert Logic's chief Security commissioner, Stephen Coty, says the information shows that the observed growth in cloud computing attacks is linked to the development of cloud computing by companies.

"As companies move more work into the cloud and its hosting infrastructure, some traditional internal threats will follow," Coty said.

"This further increases the need for enterprise-class security solutions designed to protect the cloud environment." ”

The largest number of attacks have taken place in the European region. Europe has experienced four attacks compared with the United States.

51 of the world's top antivirus companies believe that about 14% of malicious software is spread through people's favorite content, which is impossible to detect.

Alert Logic's analysis is to configure people's favorite content as a decoy system to collect attackers and their development methods.

The study, which began between April 1, 2013 and September 30, recorded more than 1 billion security incidents and confirmed that more than 232,364 of these incidents were indeed at risk.
