Understanding Cloud Attack Vectors
Release Date: 06/06/2023
This publication was produced through the efforts of chapters and volunteers but the content development falls outside of the CSA Research Lifecycle. For any questions and feedback, contact [email protected].
The goal of the document is to map the various attack vectors that are actually being used during cloud-based attacks in IaaS/PaaS and to map the vectors and their mitigating controls to various resources. The motivation for this document came after we analyzed much research around cloud security and realized that they are listing a combination of risks, threats, attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and concerns. And while there are many risks and threats to IaaS/PaaS platforms and applications, most of the risks are associated with a very specific number of attack vectors.
