The cloud is an incredibly powerful tool, and it can be used to develop and deploy applications quickly and efficiently. However, the cloud also carries a hidden danger: vulnerabilities. According to the Sysdig 2023 Cloud-Native Security and Usage report, a staggering 87% of container images have high or critical vulnerabilities. This can be an alarming statistic, but it can be mitigated by focusing on in-use risk exposures.
In-use risk exposures are the vulnerable packages that are actually in use at runtime. By focusing on these, cyber security teams can reduce the number of vulnerabilities from 87% to 15%, a massive difference. By taking this approach, teams can save time and focus their efforts on fixing the vulnerabilities that represent true risk.
The Sysdig 2023 Cloud-Native Security and Usage report also focused on key cloud challenges, including software supply chain risk, zero trust, and cost management. After analyzing billions of containers, Sysdig hopes to help the industry understand the current state of the cloud and best practices that should inform 2023 cybersecurity strategies.
In conclusion, the cloud carries with it the hidden danger of vulnerabilities, but this can be mitigated by focusing on in-use risk exposures. The Sysdig 2023 Cloud-Native Security and Usage report provides valuable insights into the current state of the cloud, and how teams can reduce the number of vulnerabilities while saving time.
