Why Accelerated Cloud Adoption Exposes Organisations to Security Risk by Chris Fisher

The report argues that cloud adoption and remote work have expanded attack surfaces beyond the reach of legacy perimeter defenses, making Network Detection and Response (NDR) essential. Citing Vectra research on Microsoft 365, it emphasizes how attackers exploit account compromises and Power Automate to enable lateral movement and automated data exfiltration, recommending an AI-driven, attacker-behavior-focused NDR approach across hybrid, on-premises, and cloud environments.
