Azure vs AWS
UpGuard in a post
The UpGuard report was just the latest in a string of such announcements, including:
- In April, an analysis of AWS cloud usage by Threat Stack Inc. revealed widespread critical AWS security misconfigurations affecting nearly three-quarters of more than 200 surveyed organizations.
- In May, RedLock Inc. published a research report finding many security issues primarily caused by user misconfigurations on public cloud platforms, with AWS figuring prominently.
- Earlier this month, Appthority published investigation results that found nearly 43 TB of enterprise data was exposed on cloud back-ends, including personally identifiable information (PII).
The finding by UpGuard resulted in a post about "AWS S3 Bucket Provisioning."
