‘This is a cloud security nightmare,” Check Point’s Yaniv Balmas tells me. “It undermines the concept of cloud security. You can’t prevent it, you can’t protect yourself. The only one who can is the cloud provider.” In this case that’s Microsoft, provider of the hyper scale Azure. Check Point is on a roll—a string of disclosures for vulnerabilities detected and disclosed in recent months. We’ve had WhatsApp, TikTok and Zoom. Now it’s Microsoft’s turn. “We thought it would be good to find weak points in the integrated security in the cloud,” Balmas explains. “We chose Azure as our target.”
