In March 2026 a cyberattack struck the cloud infrastructure behind the European Union’s Europa web platform, disrupting services and making headlines across the continent — a high-profile reminder that public-sector and cloud-hosted systems are squarely in attackers’ sights.
It’s a timely lesson that “in the cloud” doesn’t mean “someone else’s problem”.
Why this matters
- The cloud still needs securing — hosting elsewhere doesn’t remove your responsibility.
- High-profile targets attract attention — visibility invites attacks.
- Shared responsibility is real — know which security tasks are yours.
- Monitoring matters — you can’t respond to what you can’t see.
What we’d advise
We help clients secure their cloud environments properly — from Microsoft 365 to hosted infrastructure — so the convenience of the cloud comes with the protection it needs.
