Multi-cloud provides new opportunities to quickly gain those capabilities without being exceedingly beholden to any one vendor, but lock-in avoidance is not necessarily the right motivation on which to base a multi-cloud strategy.

Security researchers at Proofpoint have analyzed a “dangerous piece of functionality” that could potentially enable unauthorized access to files stored on SharePoint and OneDrive. More specifically, the flaw would allow ransomware to encrypt files stored on the cloud apps via the Microsoft 365 AutoSave feature in a way that makes them unrecoverable without dedicated backups or a decryption key from the attacker. “Our research focused on two of the most popular enterprise cloud apps –…
