Data Encryption: Prevent Threats with Total Cloud Insights | Qualys
Summary: Qualys researchers analyzed encryption-related controls across AWS, Azure, and GCP and reported failure rates including 90% for MySQL Server encryption controls in Azure, 98% for compute engine and storage services in GCP, and 71% for AWS Lambda. The post attributes these gaps to basic settings that cloud users often overlook, noting that encryption is frequently a standard, no-cost feature enabled by a single checkbox.
What's compelling: A 98% failure rate on encryption controls for GCP compute and storage means the data those services hold is, in most assessed cases, not protected the way the customer assumes. The shared responsibility model puts that exposure on the customer, not the provider.
