Top Threats to Cloud Computing: Egregious Eleven
Release Date: 08/06/2019
Working Group: Top Threats
The Top Threats reports have traditionally aimed to raise awareness of threats, risks and vulnerabilities in the cloud. Such issues are often the result of the shared, on-demand nature of cloud computing. In this fourth installment, we again surveyed 241 industry experts on security issues in the cloud industry. This year our respondents rated 11 salient threats, risks and vulnerabilities in their cloud environments. The Top Threats Working Group used the survey results along with its expertise to create the final 2019 report.
