Cloud access: lessons from an SVR advisory

A joint advisory described how Russian SVR actors adapted their approach to initial cloud access. Cloud accounts and their authentication controls can become the front door to important business information.

This briefing explains a public 2024 advisory. It is not a live incident feed; consult the original source and current vendor guidance for updates.

What the advisory tells us

The advisory examines how the actors adjusted their initial-access approach as organizations moved services to the cloud. The security of identity and authorization settings becomes critical when an attacker no longer needs a conventional network foothold.

What teams can do
