Cloud capabilities are continuously increasing from the past few years, and this has gained momentum over the COVID-19 pandemic period. However, organizations are confronting major security risks of cloud computing that are likely to further increase in 2022 if proper safety mechanisms are not put in place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizations often treat the security of cloud resources separately from the security of on-premises resources. However, increased attacks on cloud resources, including taking advantage of compromises in on-premises security for lateral attacks on the cloud, necessitate the integration of on-premises and cloud security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This also includes enhancing the security of private and public cloud resources that are accessed more during the COVID-19 pandemic period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, we\u2019ve listed what are the security risks of cloud computing that are likely to continue to heighten through 2022.\u00a0 Organizations must pay heed to these risks, to detect, prevent, and respond to cloud attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n
