SADA security experts identify and help Google Cloud remediate cloud vulnerability that could affect many users

SADA’s Google Cloud security team recently discovered a new Google Cloud Platform vulnerability that could have led to security breaches within a public cloud environment, SADA President and CEO Tony Safoian wrote on LinkedIn.

Protecting customer data in the cloud means detecting vulnerabilities that affect not just one customer, but multiple enterprises and industries, the SADA blog reads.

The vulnerability was present in a Google Cloud Platform API known as the Cloud Asset Inventory API. All Google Cloud customers that had enabled this API with principals who had been granted cloudasset.assets.searchAllResources permissions on the applicable Google Cloud environment were exposed to this vulnerability.

“No public cloud is immune from vulnerabilities, and we all must act fast, collaborate openly, and communicate transparently when we spot a vulnerability. We commend Google Cloud for how quickly and thoroughly they responded when we brought this bug to their attention. We’re proud of the work SADA’s engineers put into ensuring that our customers’ data remains safe,” says SADA CTO Miles Ward.

The blog also features frequently asked questions about cloud security and what organizations can do to ensure they haven’t been affected by this vulnerability.

Earlier SADA assembled a blog post for engineers who want to understand the vulnerability and how SADA and Google Cloud addressed it in greater detail. 

SADA has already announced its security team is available to offer guidance to organizations of any size, in any industry.
