The 2024 State of Cloud Security study indicates improvements in cloud security but highlights persistent risks, particularly from long-lived credentials and misconfigurations. Analyzed data from organizations using AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud reveals that 60% of AWS IAM users have access keys older than one year, posing significant security threats. Despite these concerns, the adoption of public access blocks in cloud storage has improved, with only 1.48% of AWS S3 buckets remaining effectively public. Additionally, the enforcement of IMDSv2 for AWS EC2 instances has increased, contributing to efforts to prevent credential theft.
