Anatomy of a Cloud Attack
This infographic maps the cloud attack lifecycle and shows how cyber resilience should address risk before, during, and after a breach. It cites an average breach cost of $4.8 million and outlines seven attack stages: reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery, exploitation, installation, command and control, and actions on objectives such as data theft or service disruption. Rubrik’s proactive defenses include sensitive-data classification, least-privilege access, activity monitoring, configuration management, and threat hunting. If attackers succeed, immutable backups prevent recovery copies from being altered, while data threat analytics help locate clean recovery points. Automated recovery, orchestration, and granular restoration then bring back applications, files, or larger environments
