Virtual machines, virtually everywhere – and with real security gaps

Key Takeaways

• ESET warns that cloud VMs offer unmatched speed, scale, and flexibility, but those advantages count for little if the VMs are left to fend for themselves.
• Misconfigured and unmanaged virtual machines expose organizations to significant security gaps that attackers can exploit for cloud breaches.
• Organizations should apply consistent security controls, patching, and monitoring to cloud workloads from the moment they are deployed.
