Cloud Security

Cloud security covers the practices, technologies, and policies that protect data, applications, and infrastructure hosted on cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. For enterprises deploying AI systems in cloud environments, this includes controlling who can access models and training data, encrypting sensitive information both at rest and in transit, and monitoring for unauthorized changes or access patterns. Strong cloud security is essential because AI systems often process large volumes of proprietary or regulated data, and misconfigurations or breaches can expose competitive advantages, customer information, or compliance violations.

AI Agent Attack Wiped 100 Azure Storage Accounts in Seven Minutes

A ransomware group tracked as JadePuffer (Storm-3168) used AI agents to automate destructive attacks against Azure cloud tenants in June 2026. Two observed attacks wiped more than 100 storage accounts within seven minutes and targeted backup protections to block recovery. Research from Microsoft and Sysdig shows AI-driven attack automation has compressed attacker timelines to the point where standard human-speed detection and response controls cannot keep pace.
