White House’s cloud security problem: ‘It could take down the internet like a stack of dominos’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:50:47 GMT

Governments and businesses have spent two decades rushing to the cloud — trusting some of their most sensitive data to tech giants that promised near-limitless storage, powerful software and the knowhow to keep it safe.Now the White House worries that the cloud is becoming a huge security vulnerability.So it’s embarking on the nation’s first comprehensive plan to regulate the security practices of cloud providers like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Oracle, whose servers provide data storage and computing power for customers ranging from mom-and-pop businesses to the Pentagon and CIA.The cloud has “become essential to our daily lives,” Kemba Walden, the acting national cyber director, said in an interview. “If it’s disrupted, it could create large potentially catastrophic disruptions to our economy and to our government.”In essence, she said, the cloud is now “too big to fail.”The fear: For all their security expertise, the cloud giants offer concentrated targets that hackers could us...

Tractors head to The Hague, defying ban on farms protest

One of the t...
