Why Project-Based Malware Protection is Inadequate
Data migration to the cloud accelerates each year. By 2025, over 100 zettabytes of data1 will be stored in some form of cloud storage resource. If your organization stores data in the cloud, you are likely aware of the security risks associated with cloud-based malware, misconfigurations, and other issues that result in data loss or compliance violations. Today, the vast majority of organizations focus their efforts exclusively on protecting their “most important” resources, like repositories with sensitive information. Meanwhile, many other repositories are left unprotected and undefended. While this might seem like a cost and time-saving approach, operating with a project-based security strategy instead of an inclusive, programmatic strategy is like locking your front door and never checking your back door, leaving your entire enterprise vulnerable to malware infiltration.

Building a Strategy to Secure Your Cloud Storage
Organizations continue to move their data to the cloud at increasing rates, year after year. While the types of data migrating to the cloud have stayed largely the same (social security numbers, credit card information, or other sensitive data), the threats to data stored in the cloud continue to evolve. To consider data truly protected, organizations must approach the unique challenges facing cloud storage with attention, research, and a willingness to invest in effective defenses.

Security Alert: Codefinger Ransomware Attacks Target Amazon S3 Users
A new ransomware campaign targeting Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) users has been identified. Dubbed Codefinger, the attackers leverage compromised AWS credentials to access and encrypt the victim’s data in Amazon S3 via AWS server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (AWS SSE-C). Cloud Storage Security’s (CSS’s) threat laboratory, Casmer Labs, responded quickly and conducted extensive research covering the attack method, identifying possible victims, and comparing Codefinger attacks to other ransomware tactics. Casmer Labs concluded that these attacks are especially dangerous because after encryption has been completed, the data cannot be recovered without the attacker’s disclosure of the encryption key, which would theoretically be provided after the ransom has been paid.

Your Responsibilities and Data Security in the Cloud
If your organization leverages the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, you have probably encountered the Shared Responsibility Model. This framework is distributed by AWS to delineate security and compliance responsibilities between themselves as the cloud provider and their customers as cloud users.
