Cloud Security Incident

A cloud security incident is any event in which unauthorized parties gain access to, disrupt, or steal data or services hosted on a third-party cloud platform such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. For AI governance teams, these incidents matter because AI systems, training data, and model outputs are increasingly stored and run in the cloud, so a breach can expose sensitive customer records, proprietary models, or regulated information. Many regulations, including the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, require organizations to report such incidents within tight deadlines, making prompt detection and clear responsibility-sharing agreements with cloud providers essential.
