(P01) (FIC) Cloud security: pie in the sky?

Are major cloud computing players really shielded from attacks? More generally, is the cloud really secure? The many recent leaks and attacks are raising questions. 80% of organisations are said to have suffered at least one serious cloud security incident in 2022 (source: Snyk). Is this just a statistical effect of the move to cloud computing, or is it a real challenge? While pooling resources and expertise in specialised operators has undeniable benefits, the concentration of data and the complexity of hyb rid and multi-cloud architectures are real handicaps. 95% of incidents are the result of configuration errors. Hyperscalers are aware of this and are snapping up cybersecurity specialists at a phenomenal rate, as evidenced by Google’s recent acquisition of Mendiant. What about the other players? While multi-cloud architectures are becoming the norm and the rise of «omni-cloud», what perspectives are there for security in cloud computing? Can the complexity of the cloud really be mastered? Will adding new abstraction layers such as CaaS and FaaS simplify things?
