Top Threats to Cloud Computing: Egregious Eleven Deep Dive
Release Date: 09/23/2020
Working Group: Top Threats
This report provides case study analyses for last year’s The Egregious 11: Top Threats to Cloud Computing and a relative security industry breach analysis. Using nine actual attacks and breaches, including a major financial services company, a leading enterprise video communications firm, and a multinational grocery chain for its foundation, the paper connects the dots between the CSA Top Threats in terms of security analysis.
Each of the nine examples are presented in the form of (1) a reference chart and (2) a detailed narrative. The reference chart’s format provides an attack-style synopsis of the actor spanning from threats and vulnerabilities to end controls and mitigations.

Key Takeaways:
- The attack details for each case study
- The technical and business impacts of each attack
- The preventative, detective and corrective mitigation measures organizations should take
- Where and how CSA Top Threats fit in a greater security analysis
- How lessons and mitigation concepts can be applied in real-world scenarios
Who it’s for:
These anecdotes will let cybersecurity managers, cloud architects, and cloud engineers better communicate with executives and peers in addition to providing context for discussions with technical staff and offers in-depth detail for implementing mitigations and countermeasures from a security analysis standpoint.
