Securing data on a project-by-project basis and using endpoint protection alone aren't enough to keep data safe.  Let's dive into why organizations are focusing on protecting all cloud storage resources from modern cyber threats by scanning them for malware.

How can I take a holistic approach to malware scanning?

Today, a majority of organizations approach security for cloud storage on a project-by-project basis, focusing on protecting storage resources based on the perceived importance of the data contained or the requirements of specific internal or external initiatives. While this ad hoc approach is a starting point for protecting your organization’s data, it falls short, leaving a significant attack surface open and leading to inevitable compromise. In today’s state of cloud storage security, we propose that:

  1. Malware detection needs to be applied holistically across an organization’s storage
    resources.
  2. Endpoint protection is no longer adequate when applied alone; detecting malware where it sits before it is promulgated is required.

Without comprehensive protection, data can easily be overlooked, enabling unauthorized access and uploads. Infected files can be introduced into unprotected buckets unnoticed, even in environments where the buckets are not considered critical because they may not be the attacker’s target themselves.
