Understanding and detecting cloud attacks

As cloud environments grow increasingly complex, alerts alone are not enough. Threat alerts require additional context for the SOC to efficiently triage and investigate. 

This section will explore the common threats faced in the cloud, including misconfigurations, identity and API vulnerabilities, and supply chain risks, as well as the importance of cloud telemetry for effective detection. 

We’ll also discuss the various layers of cloud security, the challenges of writing detection rules, and how leveraging cloud-specific threat intelligence can help improve detection and response capabilities.
