DESCRIPTION:Cloud security shouldn’t feel like deciphering a spellbook wr
 itten during a power outage. This talk starts by breaking down the core co
 ncepts of cloud architecture and access control using clear\, memorable an
 alogies—yes\, “Pizza as a Service” makes an appearance. In just a fe
 w minutes\, the audience will understand how IAM\, org policies\, and serv
 ice boundaries compare to the on-prem world\, and how attackers use these 
 same models to find weak spots.\n\nThen it’s showtime. We dive into real
 -world cloud misconfigurations and the attack paths they create\, with a m
 ix of live demos (plus recorded backups\, because the demo gods can be fic
 kle) and open-source tools that anyone can use. We’ll walk through every
 thing from “accidental” data exposure to the infamous public GitHub to
 ken that launched hundreds of crypto-mining VMs without detection. And yes
 \, why cryptominers are often just the decoy for something far more concer
 ning.
