New Research From Accurics Reveals Emergence Of New Cloud Watering Hole Attacks
Kubernetes users who try to implement role-based access controls (RBAC) often fail to define roles at the proper granularity. This increases credential reuse and the chance of misuse – in fact, 35% of the organizations evaluated struggle with this problem, according to the latest report from Accurics. In Helm charts, 48% of problems came about through insecure defaults. …

Accurics: Configuration errors are threat to cloud security
Poor configuration of cloud implementations poses a security threat, potentially leaving sensitive data exposed to public-facing servers. That’s according to research from infrastructure-as-code provider Accurics, which scanned more than 1,800 security policies to come to its conclusion. What are common cloud configuration errors? The biggest problem, Accurics found, was default security settings. It’s vital to …
