Based on real-world experience and research, this whitepaper shares insights into five of the most dangerous and common IaaS configuration mistakes that could expose your public cloud computing environment to a worst-case security scenario. These are:
- Early hacked administrative credentials
- Exposed data assets
- Weak network access controls
- Unconstrained Blast Radius
- Poor event logging
For each of the five security mistakes, we discuss:
- The specific weaknesses those configuration mistakes can create
- How those weaknesses can be exploited
- The potential impacts of being exploited
- How to detect those weaknesses manually or through automation
