True, but I feel C) Lack of encryption is a big issue too. Data needs protection at all times.

But A) Inability to monitor is also critical. Without monitoring, you can't catch threats.

I think vulnerabilities in the cloud provider's physical infrastructure are less common, but I could be wrong. It seems like most breaches we studied were related to user access and permissions.

I’m a bit confused about the options. I feel like lack of encryption for data at rest is critical, but I don’t recall it being mentioned as the top cause in our readings.

I remember a practice question that highlighted the importance of monitoring cloud infrastructure. It feels like that could be a big factor too, but I’m leaning towards IAM issues being more prevalent.

I think IAM failures might be the most common cause, but I'm not entirely sure. We discussed it in class, and it seems like a lot of breaches stem from misconfigured permissions.
