Common Security Misconfigurations in Cloud

1. Inadequate access controls: Not properly configuring access controls can allow unauthorized users and devices to access sensitive data and resources in the cloud.

2. Exposed data storage: Failing to encrypt data in transit and at rest as well as restricting public access to storage buckets can leave sensitive information vulnerable to being accessed by unauthorized parties.

3. Misconfigured networking: Not properly configuring network security measures, such as firewalls and virtual private cloud networks (VPCs), can leave an organization's cloud environment exposed to external threats.

4. Lack of monitoring and auditing: Not implementing proper security monitoring and auditing can make it difficult to detect and respond to potential security threats in the cloud.

5. Inadequate backup and disaster recovery planning: Not having a robust backup and disaster recovery plan in place can leave an organization's data and systems vulnerable to loss or damage in the event of a disaster.
