Once ransomware attacks have focused solely on encrypting files stored on on-premises servers and endpoints, but now cloud ransomware is one of the most concerning cybersecurity challenges for today&#8217;s businesses.<\/p><p>Hackers are now attacking every aspect of cloud computing, including software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps, cloud storage services, hybrid networks, and backups. A common misconception among many companies is that once data is \u00abin the cloud\u00bb it is no longer their problem. This leaves significant security holes and makes cloud ransomware an even more perilous threat when it strikes.<\/p><p>Compared to other attacks, cloud ransomware attacks are often more sophisticated, stealthy, and hard to detect. Hackers first focus on identity theft, privilege escalation, disabling backups, and data exfiltration before attempting encryption. Ransomware attacks are often detected weeks after the hackers have been active. This makes cloud ransomware recovery more complex and expensive. Knowing more about them will help with cloud ransomware prevention and reduce the risk of businesses.<\/p><p>In this article, we&#8217;ll explore in depth what cloud ransomware is, how hackers operate in cloud environments, why it&#8217;s more difficult to detect than traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/fidelissecurity.com\/threatgeek\/network-security\/common-network-vulnerabilities-and-threats\/\">network attacks<\/a>, and how businesses can prepare for an attack.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86ccb03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"86ccb03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"what-is\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Is Cloud Ransomware?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f7659d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f7659d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ransomware attacks on cloud infrastructure, cloud apps, cloud storage, and cloud-connected backups are called cloud ransomware. These attacks are not aimed at the files on computers and are not trying to prevent data stored on local devices from being accessed, but rather they are trying to disrupt business operations by targeting systems used to store, manage and access critical data.<\/p><p>These attacks are directed at SaaS applications (like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace), cloud storage, public and private cloud workloads, cloud backup, virtual machines and hybrid computing environments that connect on-premises data center resources to the cloud.<\/p><p>If cybercriminals gain access to synced folders, cloud storage, admin accounts, or backup management consoles, they can steal, delete, or encrypt data across multiple environments from a single compromised account. Because cloud resources are highly interconnected, <a href=\"https:\/\/fidelissecurity.com\/cybersecurity-101\/threats-and-vulnerabilities\/ransomware-attacks\/\">ransomware attacks<\/a> can spread quickly and cause widespread damage.

This may be through phishing, stolen credentials, weak passwords, insecure APIs, unsecured cloud service configurations, or insecure remote access tools. The attack often begins with compromised credentials, rather than software. This is particularly concerning in cloud environments which heavily rely on identity. With stolen administrator credentials, attackers can navigate through the environment, authenticating their actions, which makes their actions appear legitimate to security systems. With a single administrator account, the entire network can be compromised, including storage, backup, cloud workloads, and security consoles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb0100b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cb0100b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

The goal is to determine how best to disrupt normal operations and how to make recovery as challenging as possible.<\/p><p>This phase can go undetected as activities such as checking permissions, viewing dashboards, or inspecting storage settings can seem like normal administrator activity.

This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/fidelissecurity.com\/\">Fidelis Security<\/a><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> come into play. By gaining deep insight into hybrid and multi-cloud environments, looking for threats before the encryption process starts, and monitoring identities for suspicious activity, as well as providing robust ransomware response capabilities for cloud, businesses can detect threats before they begin to encrypt and defend against critical cloud data loss.<\/p><p>Fidelis Security<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> assists security teams to build strong ransomware cloud security by integrating early detection, cloud workload protection, network monitoring and incident response into one cohesive approach. This helps companies achieve proactive ransomware protection for cloud data &#8211; not just recovery. The best ransomware solution for cloud data is preparation rather than negotiation &#8211; and the right security partner prepares us well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
