Hybrid cloud breaches increased 45% in 2024 due to lateral movement exposure

Hybrid cloud breaches increased 45% in 2024 due to lateral movement exposure across interconnected environments. The mechanism involves attackers exploiting trust relationships between cloud and on-prem systems to move undetected. Security reports from major vendors highlight a consistent pattern of compromise spreading through poorly segmented architectures. For practitioners, this reinforces the need for consistent policy enforcement across environments to prevent attackers from leveraging hybrid connectivity.
