Today's Weather: Storm in "The Cloud"

Writer's picture: José Pablo Molina ÁvilaJosé Pablo Molina Ávila

In the intuitive understanding of time and the data market, a question arises: How unsettled are the situations in "The Cloud"?


Leaders in organizations are thinking about the risk of changing their systems and what it would mean for the business and its most important thing: data. Using change managers and graphical interfaces (GUI) doesn't fully help threat actors understand the technologies.

Protecting an organization's infrastructure is like safeguarding the data they collect, store, and manage. The value of this data is what clients provide. For a criminal, being in this position means an advantage to strategically plan along with their attack methods.


Are information systems the main financiers for businesses? Should companies watch over the money spent on a data center? Where does keeping data confidential, available, and intact fit into this?


The cloud is the preferred solution for businesses to save money and work more efficiently. It helps plan for growth and spread out computer systems. But, there's a concern among cybersecurity experts about a gap between money matters and information systems.

The widespread adoption of cloud computing has provided a convenient haven for storing data and efficiently running applications. However, beneath the apparent tranquility of this virtual paradise, a potential storm is brewing.


As organizations migrate their operations and data to cloud environments, they confront significant challenges in terms of cybersecurity. The growing complexity of cloud infrastructures and emerging threats raises questions about the true strength of these environments.


In this scenario, security becomes a crucial piece, and cybersecurity experts view the apparent reliability of "The Cloud" with skepticism. The vulnerabilities lurking in this vast virtual space could unleash unpredictable consequences for companies and users. Despite advancements in security measures, the reality is that no cloud is completely immune to the onslaught of sophisticated cyberattacks.


Misunderstanding the cloud summarizes its landscape; it obscures and fosters chaos: "We are deceived. The cloud is just someone else's computer."


The lack of complete visibility into the underlying infrastructure and dependence on third parties for security management makes "The Cloud" a favorable space for emerging threats. Faced with this reality, caution and a robust security strategy emerge as unavoidable imperatives to navigate the latent risks.


Are we prepared to face the paradigm shift observed in "The Cloud"?
