A recent study by Palo Alto Networks‘ Unit 42 Threat Intelligence reveals that 66% of cloud-stored data is vulnerable to ransomware attacks.
Many businesses and individuals fail to implement necessary security measures in their cloud environments, relying on default settings that offer minimal protection.
The responsibility of securing data in the cloud falls on both the cloud storage provider and the user, who must implement and manage security tools effectively.
To mitigate the risk of ransomware attacks, users should adjust default settings, implement strong encryption protocols, manage access permissions, and stay updated with security patches and best practices.
