Understanding lateral movement in the cloud

Cyberattacks on cloud applications can be external or internal. They can impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Here are some more cloud cyberattack concepts to understand.

Cyberattacks against complicated enterprise systems such as cloud networks are seldom simple. Attacks don’t just break in, enter, and leave. Many attacks strike one part of a complex system and then move on to other parts of a complex system.

A cloud network can include multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and GCP) with several different services and applications on each platform. They can also contain multiple containerization systems through orchestration platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes, integrating numerous services and applications within each one. All of the components of cloud networks can communicate with each other through shared credentials such as cryptography keys and machine identities (such as TLS certificates...
