Cloud Misconfiguration Definition: A cloud misconfiguration is an insecure cloud setting, like a public storage bucket or open IAM policy, that exposes data and causes breaches.
A cloud misconfiguration is an insecure or incorrect setting in cloud infrastructure or services that exposes data or resources to unauthorized access. Common examples include publicly readable object-storage buckets, overly permissive IAM policies, open security groups, disabled logging, and unencrypted data stores. Misconfigurations are one of the most frequent root causes of cloud data breaches and are the primary focus of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tooling.
Cloud Misconfiguration is one of the topics you'll master in the Official ISC2 CCSP Boot Camp.
