Part 2: Risks tied to cloud security and the challenges of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Cloud Security Gaps & MFA Risks You Need To Know

Cloud services make business operations more efficient, but they also create security risks. Misconfigured settings, unprotected data, and weak access controls can leave your company exposed to cyber threats.

Even Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), once a strong security measure, is being bypassed by cybercriminals using MFA fatigue, phishing scams, and session hijacking.

What To Watch For

  • Cloud Setup Mistakes – Simple errors can lead to data leaks.
  • MFA Attacks – Hackers trick users into approving fake login attempts.
  • Unprotected Cloud Data – Without Strong access controls, sensitive data is at risk.

How To Stay Secure

  • Switch to phishing-resistant MFA like passkeys or authentication apps.
  • Regularly review cloud security settings to prevent leaks.
