Cloud servers are now the number one entry route for cyberattacks, new research has claimed, with 41% of companies reporting it as the first entry point.
The problem is only getting worse, with the number of attacks using cloud servers as their initial point of entry rose 10% year-on-year, and they’ve also leapfrogged corporate servers as the main way for criminals to find their way into organizations.
The data, collected by cyber insurer Hiscox from a survey of 5,181 professionals from eight countries, found it’s not just cloud servers that are letting hackers in, as 40% of businesses highlighted business emails as the main access point for cyberattacks.
