As cloud adoption accelerates in 2025, so do the threats targeting cloud infrastructure.
Key Risks
- Ransomware in the Cloud: Attackers are increasingly targeting cloud workloads, with some high-profile breaches costing enterprises millions in downtime and recovery.
- Misconfigurations: Still the #1 cause of cloud breaches, often due to human error or lack of automated guardrails.
- Compliance Gaps: PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR audits are becoming stricter, and fines for non-compliance are rising.
- Supply Chain Attacks: Vulnerabilities in third-party services integrated into cloud environments are being exploited more frequently.
Market Context
According to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a cloud-related breach has risen to over $5 million. Gartner predicts that by 2026, 70% of enterprises will adopt cloud-native security platforms to consolidate fragmented tools and improve visibility.
How to Stay Secure
- Implement continuous monitoring and threat detection with AI-driven tools.
- Adopt zero trust architectures to minimize lateral movement.
- Regularly audit against NIST and ISO standards, embedding compliance into DevOps pipelines.
- Train staff on secure cloud practices to reduce human error.
