Tenable®, the exposure management company, today released its 2024 Tenable Cloud Risk Report, which examines the critical risks at play in modern cloud environments. Most alarmingly, nearly four in 10 organizations globally are leaving themselves exposed at the highest levels due to the “toxic cloud trilogy” of publicly exposed, critically vulnerable and highly privileged cloud workloads. Each of these misalignments alone introduces risk to cloud data, but the combination of all three drastically elevates the likelihood of exposure access by cyber attackers.

Security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities combine to dramatically increase cloud risk. The Tenable Cloud Risk Report provides a deep dive into the most pressing cloud security issues observed in the first half of 2024, highlighting areas such as identities and permissions, workloads, storage resources, vulnerabilities, containers and Kubernetes. It also offers mitigation guidance for organizations seeking ways to limit exposures in the cloud.

Publicly exposed and highly privileged cloud data lead to data leaks. Critical vulnerabilities exacerbate the likelihood of incidents. The report reveals that a staggering 38% of organizations have cloud workloads that meet all three of these toxic cloud trilogy criteria, representing a perfect storm of exposure for cyber attackers to target. When bad actors exploit these exposures, incidents commonly include application disruptions, full system takeovers, and DDoS attacks that are often associated with ransomware. Scenarios like these could devastate an organization, with the 2024 average cost of a single data breach approaching $5 million.¹ 

Additional key findings from the report include: 

• 84% of organizations have risky access keys to cloud resources: The majority of organizations (84.2%) possess unused or longstanding access keys with critical or high severity excessive permissions, a significant security gap that poses substantial risk. 
• 23% of cloud identities have critical or high severity excessive permissions: Analysis of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure reveals that 23% of cloud identities, both human and non-human, have critical or high severity excessive permissions. 
• Critical vulnerabilities persist: Notably, CVE-2024-21626, a severe container escape vulnerability that could lead to the server host compromise, remained unremediated in over 80% of workloads even 40 days after its publishing. 
• 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage: 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage assets, including those in which sensitive data resides. This exposure, often due to unnecessary or excessive permissions, has been linked to increased ransomware attacks. 
• 78% of organizations have publicly accessible Kubernetes API servers: Of these, 41% also allow inbound internet access. Additionally, 58% of organizations have cluster-admin role bindings — which means that certain users have unrestricted control over all the Kubernetes environments.

“Our report reveals that an overwhelming number of organizations have access exposures in their cloud workloads of which they may not even be aware,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “It’s not always about bad actors launching novel attacks. In many instances, misconfigurations and over-privileged access represent the highest risk for cloud data exposures. The good news is, many of these security gaps can be closed easily once they are known and exposed.”

The report reflects findings by the Tenable Cloud Research team based on telemetry from millions of cloud resources across multiple public cloud repositories, analyzed from January 1 through June 30, 2024.

In an era of rapidly evolving Artificial Intelligence/Large Language Model (AI/LLM) technologies, cybersecurity practitioners face significant challenges in monitoring unauthorized AI solutions, detecting AI vulnerabilities, and identifying unexpected AI/LLM development. Tenable Security Center leverages advanced detection technologies - agents, passive network monitoring, dynamic application security testing, and distributed scan engines - to surface AI/LLM software, libraries, and browser plugins. The risk managers utilize this report to begin a comprehensive review of the AI/LLM packages in systems and web applications, along with associated vulnerabilities, mitigating risks of exploitation, data leakage, and unauthorized resource consumption.

AI/LLM technologies are promising and can transform many industries and businesses, offering new innovation and efficiency opportunities. However, the technology represents a huge security challenge at many layers and this impact should not be overlooked. By using Tenable Security Center and Tenable Web App Scanning the organization is able to take a security-first approach. When combined with best practices and robust governance policies, the organizations can harness the power of AI/LLM and mitigate the associated emerging threats.  

This report provides a detailed view of AI/LLM use by leveraging Nessus plugin (196906) to detect AI/LLM usage in 3 ways: browser extensions, applications, and file paths all common to AI/LLM implementations. AI/LLM vulnerabilities discovered in web applications are identified using the Web Application Scanner, alongside network traffic analysis using the Nessus Network Monitor (NNM). By combining all methods of data collection, the risk managers are able to identify problem areas and other risks associated with AI/LLM.

2022 began with concerns over supply chains and Software Bills of Material (SBOM) as organizations worldwide were forced to reconsider how they respond to incidents in anticipation of the next major event. Tenable’s Security Response Team (SRT) continuously monitors the threat landscape throughout the year, always at the forefront of trending vulnerabilities and security threats. This dashboard provides a summary of Tenable data that has been compiled over the past year.

In a year marked by hacktivism, ransomware and attacks targeting critical infrastructure in a turbulent macroeconomic environment, organizations struggled to keep pace with the demands on cybersecurity teams and resources. Attacks against critical infrastructure remained a common concern. Ransomware continued to wreak havoc, even as some groups had operations shuttered by law enforcement, collapsed under the weight of internal power struggles, or splintered into new groups. New and complex vulnerabilities emerged, providing remediation challenges.

Perhaps most alarming is that the vulnerabilities of years past continue to haunt organizations. In fact, known flaws were so prominent inn 2022 that they warranted a spot on Tenable’s list of top vulnerabilities of 2022. We cannot stress this enough: Threat actors continue to find success with known and proven exploitable vulnerabilities that organizations have failed to patch or remediate successfully.

The constant evolution of the modern digital environment introduces new challenges for security practitioners. Successful security programs must take a comprehensive approach and understand where the most sensitive data and systems reside and what vulnerabilities or misconfigurations pose the greatest risk. Given the brisk rate of digital transformation, a complete understanding of the external attack surface is paramount.

With thousands of new vulnerabilities patched each year, only a small subset will ever see active exploitation. Focusing resources on the vulnerabilities that are exploitable and understanding how attackers chain vulnerabilities and misconfigurations enables security teams to design comprehensive strategies to reduce their overall risk exposure.

The Tenable 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR) inspects key aspects of the cybersecurity landscape and describes how organizations can revise their programs to focus on reducing risk. The TLR covers:

• Significant vulnerabilities disclosed and exploited throughout the year, including how common cloud misconfigurations can affect even large tech companies
• The continuous transformation of the ransomware ecosystem and the rise of extortion-only threat groups
• Ongoing risks, vulnerabilities and attacks within the software supply chain
• Tactics used by advanced persistent threat groups to target organizations with cyber espionage as well as financially motivated attacks.
• Breach factors and the challenges in analyzing breach data, given the limited information available and lack of detailed reporting requirements
• Details of the key vulnerabilities affecting enterprise software

Tenable Research delivers world class cyber exposure intelligence, data science insights, alerts, and security advisories. The Tenable Research teams perform diverse work that builds the foundation of vulnerability management. The Security Response Team (SRT) tracks threat and vulnerability intelligence feeds and provides rapid insight to the Vulnerability Detection team, enabling them to quickly create plugins and tools that expedite vulnerability detection. This fast turnaround enables customers to gain immediate insight into their current risk posture. Tenable Research has released over 180,000 plugins and leads the industry on CVE coverage. Additionally, the SRT provides breakdowns for the latest vulnerabilities on the Tenable Blog and produces an annual Threat Landscape Report. The SRT continuously analyzes the evolving threat landscape, authors white papers, blogs, Cyber Exposure Alerts, and additional communications to provide customers with comprehensive information to evaluate cyber risk.

Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives. Tenable.sc discovers and analyzes assets continuously to provide an accurate and unified view of an organization’s security posture. The requirements for this dashboard is: Nessus.

2022 TLR – Mitigation Tasks:  This component provides a list of patches that mitigate the key vulnerabilities in 2022, leveraging the CVEs identified in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). The Remediation Summary tool uses the concept of a Patch Chain, and identifies the top patch to be remediated for the greatest risk reduction. When the top patch is applied, all other patches in the chain will be remediated.

2022 TLR – 90 Day Trend Analysis of Key Vulnerabilities: This component provides a 90-day analysis of the most notable vulnerabilities in 2022, leveraging the CVEs identified in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). There are over 180 CVEs discussed in the TLR, which, combined with the trend line, helps risk managers determine how risk has been reduced over a period of 90 days. The vulnerability last observed filter is set to 1 day to display risk changes on a daily basis.

2022 TLR CVSS to VPR Heat Map: This component provides a correlation between CVSSv3 scores and Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) scoring for the key vulnerabilities listed in the 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). The CVSSv3 scores are the standard scoring system used to describe the characteristics and severity of software vulnerabilities. Tenable's VPR helps organizations refine the severity level of vulnerabilities in the environment by leveraging data science analysis and threat modeling based on emerging threats. Each cell is comprised of a combination of cross-mapping of CVSS, VPR scoring, and 2022 CVE identifiers. Using a heat map approach, the filters begin in the left upper corner with vulnerabilities that present least risk.  Moving to the right and lower down the matrix the colors change darker from yellow to red as the risk levels increase.  Tenable recommends that operations teams prioritize remediation for risks in the lower right corners, and then work towards the upper left cells.

2022 TLR – Zero Day Vulnerabilities by Software/Hardware Type: This component displays a list of software/hardware that had zero-day vulnerabilities described in the 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). Each indicator uses CVE from the report through the entire 2022 year. Details are provided in Tenable's 2021 Threat Landscape Report (TLR).
