Cloud data leak

Almost every action in the modern world has an electronic footprint. Technological development provides more opportunities and conveniences in the daily activities of business and an average person. The cloud is increasingly being used to store sensitive data (banking information, card and bank account numbers, medical records, personally identifiable information (PII), phone number, address, etc.). On the one hand, this is very convenient, on the other hand, it increases the risk of information disclosure. There are many options for how cybercriminals obtain sensitive data. For example, an attack (a targeted attempt to cause damage through technical or social means), a hack (a type of attack using technical vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access), a leak (caused by some act or omission of the party that owns the data).

However, there is a separate type of leaks – cloud leaks. This type is the cause of other larger and more dangerous cases of data disclosure. The cloud is part of the Internet and offers a separate private place to perform various business operations. A cloud leak occurs when cloud storage is not properly separated from the Internet.

A cloud data leak is a situation in which sensitive data stored in a private cloud is accidentally leaked onto the Internet.  A mistake simplicity is incommensurable with consequences scale. There are many benefits to using the cloud or partnering with vendors that use it. However, it is worth considering potential problems and risks. Cloud leaks are an operational issue that needs to be addressed within the IT processes that manage data processing in the cloud.
