Challenges of Azure Cloud Security
To ensure that your cloud workloads in Microsoft Azure are secure, it’s important to assess your environments regularly. Azure cloud attacks occur because organizations fail to follow Microsoft’s Shared Responsibility Model and proactively identify cloud misconfigurations in the services they rely on daily.
Common Azure misconfigurations that can lead to cloud security data breaches include:
Misconfigured IAM policies Unrestricted access to resources Insecure data storage
How Picus Help You to Secure AWS
Picus Cloud Security Validation (CSV) helps you to stay on top of cloud security posture management by identifying the two primary causes of data breaches in Azure: cloud misconfigurations and overly permissive IAM policies.
Azure cloud auditing
Scanning sixteen Azure services, Picus CSV identifies critical cloud misconfigurations that attackers could exploit. These include excessive privileges, exposed S3 buckets, and cryptographic failures.
Azure attack simulation
By simulating privileges escalation scenarios in Azure, Picus CSV identifies overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) policies that could enable attackers to compromise Azure cloud services and steal data.
