Mitiga in the News

Mitiga has uncovered potential hidden dangers in the Cloud Control Plane, with the company saying that there may be significant risk in cloud development caused by not recognising the differences between cloud and traditional definitions of common architecture terms.

Cloud security vendor Mitiga discovered "dangerous functionality" in the Google Cloud Platform that could allow attackers to compromise virtual machines.

A dangerous functionality could allow adversaries to remotely access a network deemed secure from outside intruders. Likely a common misconfiguration of Google Cloud systems could leave the network exposed to capable adversaries, researchers at Mitiga, a Cloud Incident Response Company, claim.

Today, security researchers at cloud incident response provider Mitiga announced in a blog post they had discovered a “dangerous functionality” in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)’s control pane.

A misconfiguration in Google Cloud Platform has been found which could give threat actors full control over a target virtual machine (VM) endpoint, researchers have said.

It’s well-known that zero-day vulnerabilities pose critical security risks until an effective patch is issued. But, patching a vulnerability doesn’t guarantee that an environment hasn’t already been exploited.

It seems like every few months, security leaders' anxiety spikes due to a new third-party breach, all too aware of the potential security nightmare that could ensue. In March, the Okta breach shocked organizations around the world as they contemplated the potential impact of a breach of the leading identity access management company.
