“This isn't just a technical oversight; it's a systemic governance failure, compounded by a persistent expertise gap that stalls progress from the server room to the boardroom,” says Liat Hayun, Tenable’s vice president of product and research.
Inconsistent identity controls and dangerous permissions are emerging as the cloud’s weakest link, according to a new report from cybersecurity firm Tenable and Cloud Security Alliance.
