What Is CNAPP? The Complete Guide for Enterprise Security Teams
It is 2:47 AM on a Tuesday. Your on-call engineer gets paged – not by your SIEM, not by your cloud provider’s native alerts, but by a journalist asking for comment on a data exposure that has already been circulating on a Telegram channel for six hours. A public S3 bucket. A misconfigured IAM role. […]
Cloud Attack Path Analysis & Graph-Based Risk Modeling: The Missing Link in Cloud Security
Modern attackers don’t think in alerts or dashboards – they think in paths. They chain misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exposed identities into a single, high‑impact route to your crown‑jewel assets. In cloud environments built on AWS, Azure, and GCP, this path-first mindset forces security teams to move beyond static lists and into graph‑driven, relationship‑aware cloud […]
Cloud Security Visualization & Attack Path Analysis: The Complete Guide to Modern Threat Detection
The cloud security landscape has fundamentally transformed. Organizations operating across AWS, Azure, and GCP face an unprecedented challenge: understanding their actual security posture across sprawling, dynamic infrastructure that changes by the minute. Legacy security tools aren’t built for this reality – they generate alerts without context, create detection blind spots between scheduled scans, and leave […]
Event-Driven Cloud Security Architecture: Implementation Guide from Cloud Security Experts
Picture this: A developer spins up a new EC2 instance for testing at 2:47 PM. By 2:52 PM, it’s already being probed by automated scanners. By 2:57 PM, a misconfigured security group has been exploited. Your traditional security scan? It’s scheduled for tonight at midnight – more than 9 hours too late. This isn’t a […]
Risk-Based CSPM: The Complete Guide to Contextual Cloud Risk Management
Cloud security posture management has reached an inflection point. Traditional CSPM tools that flag every misconfiguration equally have created a new problem: alert fatigue so severe that critical risks disappear into backlogs of thousands of low-priority findings. Risk-based CSPM represents the fundamental shift from detecting everything to prioritizing what actually matters; and it’s transforming how […]
Cloud Threat Detection for Banks: A Real‑Time Cloud Security Monitoring Blueprint for Indian BFSI
Banks do not get “second chances” with trust. One exposed bucket, one compromised cloud account, or one unmonitored SaaS integration can move millions in minutes and trigger RBI, SEBI, and board-level escalation in hours. As Indian banks accelerate cloud adoption, the uncomfortable truth is this: traditional perimeter security and once-a-day log review simply cannot see […]
Misconfigured AWS S3 Buckets: The Definitive 2026 Guide to Risks, Detection, and Prevention
Misconfigured AWS S3 buckets are one of the quietest but deadliest cloud risks your team faces today – and they’re still behind a majority of preventable cloud data breaches. This guide unpacks the real-world risks, how misconfigurations happen, and how modern platforms like Cy5’s ion cloud security engine close the gap from “oops” to “incident” […]
Why Indian Enterprises Are Abandoning the Security Tool Collection Model
The $10 Billion Wake-Up Call That Proved the Old Security Architecture Is Broken; And What India’s CISOs Are Building Instead In June 2017, NotPetya malware propagated across the world’s most sophisticated enterprise networks in under an hour. The damage: over $10 billion in losses across shipping, pharmaceutical, and logistics enterprises that had collectively spent hundreds […]
Event-Driven Cloud Security Architecture Explained: Design Patterns, Pipeline & Multi-Cloud Security
Cloud environments don’t get breached in slow motion anymore; they break in real time. A leaked key on Git, a misconfigured security group, an exposed object store – each of these can be discovered and exploited in minutes, not days. Traditional, schedule‑based security models that “scan every 4 hours” are fundamentally misaligned with this threat […]
Cloud Misconfiguration Detection: Complete Guide for 2026 (AWS, Azure, GCP & Best Practices)
You’ve invested in cloud. Your infrastructure is scalable, your DevOps team moves fast, and your applications run globally. You’ve checked all the boxes on cloud adoption. Then, in one moment, everything changes. A researcher discovers a misconfigured AWS S3 bucket publicly accessible to the entire internet. Inside: 273,000 banking transaction records belonging to Indian customers. […]
