Breaking the Cloud: A Tale of 3 Breaches!
Ashish Rajan

It would be a surprise if most people in 2023 are either already working or about to work on securing applications hosted on Public/Private cloud providers. However, a lot are primarily working on putting CIS Benchmark, NIST mapping, NCSC Cyber Essentials mapping,etc to their Cloud to secure them. This leaves a gap for how a malicious actor is working their way through a cloud account once compromised and how can a blue team detect them in their environment. The best way to do this is to learn from what's already happened aka cloud breaches.

This talk will start with a walkthrough of how malicious actors approach a cloud environment that has gaps which can lead to. Followed by what are the low hanging fruits that malicious attackers check for in your cloud environments for and how a lot of organisations are managing security risk in a multi-cloud world along with where the security gaps that is the responsibility of the cloud customer to manage.
