#7 Cloud Abuse:

Cloud abuse is a way of attack where the attacker uses the cloud service itself to decode an encryption key. In simple words, the attacker uses the cloud service to launch a DDoS attack or propagates malware to even share pirated software. The hardest part of these attacks is to identifying the pattern of the attacks as its too complicated when compared to others, since when the source itself becomes a cloud service within the organization.

If not, then they must train the group in an appropriate manner. An inexperienced group can always be a primary source to a security attack.
