Cloudy with a Chance of Misconfigurations: Why Your AI Needs a Security Umbrella
Organizations are playing a dangerous game of Jenga by deploying overly permissive AI in the cloud. With root access granted by default, it’s like handing the keys to your cyber-kingdom to potential intruders. The Tenable Cloud AI Risk Report 2025 highlights the need to fix these misconfigurations before they topple security.
Hot Take:
When it comes to cloud AI services, companies are playing a dangerous game of Jenga with their security settings. It seems they’re stacking permissions higher than a cat video marathon, leaving the door wide open for cybercriminals to waltz in and have a party. Let’s hope they don’t forget to set up the bouncer next time!
Key Points:
- Organizations are misconfiguring cloud AI services, granting root access by default.
- 91% of Amazon SageMaker users enable root access, creating risks.
- This misconfiguration is like a precarious Jenga tower, one slip and it all comes down.
- Companies need to maintain a cloud resource inventory to mitigate risks.
- Practicing “least privilege” access is crucial for security.
