Tenable Says 74% of Their Customers Have Publicly Exposed Storage and Misconfigs

According to a report that cloud security vendor Tenable released this week:

In the first half of this year, 38% of organizations had at least one cloud workload that was critically vulnerable, highly privileged, and publicly exposed, according to a study of telemetry from customers of cloud security vendor Tenable released this week.

Overall, the report says that 74 percent of organizations had publicly exposed data, some of which was sensitive data.

As everyone rushes to the cloud, they don’t necessarily do it right and don’t enforce the needed security practices.

Hackers understand this and put a lot of effort in finding these holes. And stealing whatever they can find.

But storage is not the only problem. An exceptionally scary 84 percent of organizations have unused or longstanding access keys with critical or high severity excessive permissions.

But, there are ways to mitigate the risk. Not simple but possible. It starts with finding the holes.
