Threat matrix: Mapping threats across cloud web applications

Microsoft released a cloud web applications threat matrix aligned with MITRE ATT&CK that catalogs attack techniques targeting cloud-hosted applications and serverless platforms. The framework organizes threats across ten tactics, from resource development through impact, and highlights how attackers can exploit application code, deployment pipelines, workload identities, and connected cloud services. Defenders can use the matrix to identify visibility gaps, prioritize hardening efforts, and investigate attacks that span application and infrastructure layers.

Why it matters: Security teams managing cloud applications and serverless deployments need this reference to understand cross-platform attack paths that single-layer investigations often miss, and to implement defenses like multifactor authentication (MFA), least-privilege access, and centralized logging across their cloud environments.
