Misconfigs and Unpatched Bugs Top Cloud Native Security Incidents Phil Muncaster UK / EMEA News Reporter , Infosecurity Magazine The open source security firm’s first ever State of Cloud Native Application Security Report revealed that adoption of cloud native techniques is soaring, with over 78% of production workloads now deployed as containers or serverless applications. However, this comes with its own risks: 60% of developers have had increased security concerns since going cloud native, the report claimed. Misconfiguration (45%) and known unpatched bugs (38%) were the most commonly experienced security incidents, with misconfiguration (58%) and insecure APIs (52%) topping the list of respondents’ concerns. “Cloud native platforms utilizing automated tooling rely on credentials such as secrets and API tokens in order to operate, necessitating a more decentralized approach to managing such access,” the report noted. “The need for effective management of these kinds of artifacts is a key differentiator from the more centralized pre-cloud era, and a major area of concern for operations teams transforming their infrastructure.”
