By greater impact, we'll read that as: exploitation of this flaw against a cloud target caused more damage and disruption or more data to be stolen than what you'd typically see with on-prem systems.
Other programming blunders that had a greater impact against cloud systems when exploited include a Microsoft Exchange Server RCE flaw, a Text4shell RCE, and a F5 Big IP bug. Check Point said it came to these conclusions after studying stats from its IT defense products. And all that info of yours accessible via the cloud is too valuable for crooks to ignore, Tom Kellerman, senior vice president of cyber security at Contrast Security, told"Cybercrime cartels and rogue nation intelligence services appreciate that the future is island hopping, which lies in colonizing the cloud," he said."This also means that defense capabilities in cloud networks need to improve.
According to Check Point, that means taking such steps as using zero-trust cloud network security controls, incorporating security and compliance earlier in the development lifecycle, avoid misconfigurations, and using tools such as an intrusion detection and prevention systems and next-generation web application firewalls.no one should be surprised that miscreants are increasing their attacks on cloud networks, adding that"organizations are using more cloud resources than ever before.
