\u201cSophos research\u00a0shows that cybercriminals are relentlessly trying to attack cloud servers, using automation to scan for weaknesses like open cloud buckets and launching attacks within minutes of assets going live in the cloud,\u201d said Dan Schiappa, Chief Product Officer, Sophos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOrganisations are at risk of a security breach if they can\u2019t see and properly secure what they\u2019re putting into the cloud. Cloud Optix continuously monitors cloud assets, configurations and network traffic patterns to prevent provisioning of vulnerable infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
