The rise of cloud computing has had a significant impact on cybersecurity, presenting both opportunities and challenges to organizations. The benefits of cost savings, scalability, and flexibility have accelerated cloud adoption in recent years. The shift to cloud computing, on the other hand, has increased the attack surface for organizations, as traditional security measures may not be adequate to protect cloud-based assets. Organizations must implement a cloud-first security strategy that aligns with the shared responsibility model, leverages cloud-native security solutions, and provides employees with security awareness training to mitigate the risks associated with cloud adoption.
