While multicloud architectures streamline infrastructure management for organizations, they introduce significant complexities in security management. To effectively oversee security in a multicloud environment, organizations must implement a strategic approach that addresses the unique challenges presented by these platforms.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a comprehensive framework of business processes, policies, and technologies designed to manage digital identities and control user access to an organization’s resources. The core purpose of IAM is to ensure that the right individuals—whether employees, contractors, partners, or devices—have the appropriate access to technology resources at the right times and for the right reasons, while preventing unauthorized access.

Google has implemented a multi-layered defense strategy to secure its generative AI systems (like Gemini) from evolving threats, particularly indirect prompt injection attacks. These attacks involve embedding malicious instructions within external data sources—such as emails, documents, or calendar invites—to manipulate AI into exfiltrating sensitive data or performing unauthorized actions. Unlike direct prompt injections, where attackers input malicious commands explicitly, indirect injections exploit trusted content to bypass defenses.

A significant gap in Microsoft Entra’s subscription handling allows guest users to create and transfer Azure subscriptions into external tenants they’re invited to while retaining full ownership. This design oversight enables privilege escalation and unauthorized persistence, bypassing standard access controls.
