Organizations embracing cloud environments must understand that cloud applications and services have become popular targets for cybercriminals. A few notable and inherent risks with cloud deployments include.
Last CIO Week, we showed you how our network stacks up against competitors across several countries. We demonstrated with our tests that Cloudflare Access is 38% faster than ZScaler (ZPA) worldwide. Today we wanted to focus on LATAM and show how our network performed against Zscaler and Netskope in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications have become an integral part of modern enterprise operations. According to a recent report by Gartner, the worldwide public cloud services market is projected to grow to $591.8 billion in 2023, up 20.7% from $490.3 billion in 2022, with SaaS being the largest market segment representing about 33% of the market.
Many organizations have either been formed in, or have migrated to cloud-based environments due to the efficiency, flexibility, mobility, cost savings, and other benefits. The majority of applications that are used today are incorporated with the cloud. Most of our data and processes exist in the cloud. But simple as it is, just uploading your files to the cloud or using services of the cloud, doesn`t guarantee that it`s secure.
Each day, enterprise and public sector IT teams face new challenges when managing hybrid work for networks of hundreds, or even thousands, of users. A more distributed workforce means an increased reliance on collaboration and productivity tools. It also requires a strong strategy to protect these systems against vulnerabilities and modern cyberattacks.
Forensic investigators must understand how to navigate challenges to successfully uncover digital evidence in the cloud. By following best practices and utilizing the latest tools and techniques, organizations can be better prepared to investigate cyber threats and mitigate risks.
Google Drive continues to be one of the most abused cloud services by threat actors, and the latest edition (April 2023) of the Threat Horizons Report, released by security researchers in Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), shows more interesting examples of how opportunistic and state-sponsored threat actors are exploiting its flagship cloud storage service, to conduct malicious campaigns (and by the way, Netskope Cloud and Threat Report is quoted in the report).

When you buy a new house, you shouldn’t have to worry that everyone in the city can unlock your front door with a universal key before you change the lock. You also shouldn’t have to walk around the house with a screwdriver and tighten the window locks and back door so that intruders can’t pry them open.
