Дата-центры все чаще подвергаются взломам

New Post has been published on https://er10.kz/read/it-novosti/data-centry-vse-chashhe-podvergajutsja-vzlomam/

Дата-центры все чаще подвергаются взломам

Дата-центры все чаще становятся жертвами масштабных взломов, однако, инциденты и утечки нередко остаются незамеченными часами или даже днями. Специалисты по безопасности винят в ошибках усталость от оповещений, фрагментированные инструменты и устаревшие приложе��ия. Об этом говорится в отчете компании Check Point.

За последний год почти две трети организаций столкнулись с инцидентами в секторе облачной безопасности, но лишь 9% из них были обнаружены в течение первого часа.

Еще более тревожно, что только 6% инцидентов удалось устранить в течение первых 60 минут, тогда как 62% компаний потребовалось более 24 часов для полного восстановления.

Check Point выделяет несколько основных причин роста облачных инцидентов:

Усталость от оповещений: Специалисты по безопасности перегружены огромным количеством уведомлений, что снижает их способность оперативно реагировать ��а реальные угрозы. Почти половина организаций ежедневно получает более 500 оповещений, многие из которых оказываются ложными.

Слишком много программ безопасности: Более 70% организаций используют свыше 10 различных инструментов облачной безопасности, что приводит к фрагментации и замедлению реакции. Это явление, известное как tool sprawl, усложняет управление безопасностью.

Устаревшие системы защиты: Многие компании продолжают полагаться на периметровые системы защиты, которые не рассчитаны на масштабы и сложность современных облачных сред. В частности, 60% организаций используют сигнатурные веб-файрволы (WAF), которые недостаточно эффективны против сложных атак на уровне приложений.

Рост облачных технологий: За последний год 62% организаций расширили использование облачных периферийных технологий, таких как Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), 57% увеличили долю гибридных облаков, а 51% перешли на мультиоблачные стратегии. Этот стремительный рост опережает готовность систем безопасности.

Искусственный интеллект остается приоритетом для 70% организаций, однако уверенность в защите от ИИ-угроз крайне низка. Только 25% респондентов чувствуют себя готовыми противостоять атакам, использующим автоматизированное уклонение или генерацию вредоносного ПО.
