Cloud Is Safe, But Not Entirely Immune To Cyberthreats

In the early days of the pandemic, concerns over reduced business continuity and stakeholder communication were running high. The demand for heightened collaboration led to a surge in adoption of conferencing and business collaboration tools. According to a NASSCOM report released in September 2020, COVID19 further accelerated cloud adoption in India, especially among SMBs in sectors like e-learning, healthcare, retail, gaming and entertainment.

While cloud does make a conscious move away from the conventional perimeter-security strategy that large corporations deploy, there is also the promise of enhanced safety. However, no setup can honestly promise 100% safety and security, and its no surprise that over the years, cloud services too have witnessed an increase in the number and scope of attacks. Popular cyberthreats that could compromise cloud computing include:

Cryptojacking: Accessing cloud computing systems for their power, to mine for cryptocurrency
Data Breaches: Cyber criminals gaining unauthorised access to a company’s cloud network to copy and transmit data
Denial of Service: DoS attacks are when cyber criminals overload a company’s servers with voluminous traffic loads, making services inaccessible to customers and the company executives as well.
Insider Threats: As the name suggests, this happens when employees compromise company data, unintentionally or intentionally.
Hijacking Accounts: Password stuffing and phishing are techniques to hijack company accounts, and access vast amounts of employee information
Insecure Applications: A careless download of suspicious software can wreak havoc on entire systems.
Inadequate Training: IT professionals must receive constant and proper training on industry protocols and latest cyber risks to help their organizations develop robust protection strategies.
Integrated Approach to New-Age Cyberthreats, Supported by AI

Cybersecurity firms worldover understand the nature of the beast they are tackling. Cybercriminals are crafty and sophisticated – often times, they use AI to unleash more attacks on organizations. It is imperative to stay a step ahead at all times. Since investing in multiple products and solutions to manage all these threats 24/7 is a huge cost facto, cybersecurity companies are increasingly exploring integrated security solutions for cloud platforms – this helps businesses manage costs and more importantly, streamline their cyber management activities more efficiently.

Motorola Solutions just rolled out the AI Network Video Recorder (NVR) that combines the traditional Avigilon NVR with the capabilities of the Avigilon AI appliance to provide enterprises with a solution that fulfils their analytics, storage and cybersecurity needs. Last week, ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions announced the ARIA CloudADR that monitors all threat surfaces to detect known and novel cyberattacks. It uses a threat modelling approach to detect threats by behaviors, and leverages ML to help find these behaviors both within the threat analytics, as well as the network data. It is AI-driven, which means it finds verifies and surfaces only confirmed attacks, without human involvement. This solution is automated for near real-time identification and containment of verified threats, provides intelligent threat detection and response with AI and ML threat-based behavior models and provides the functionality of SEVEN disparate security tools in one product.
