TechSpective’s Cloud Security section covers the practical and strategic challenges of securing enterprise infrastructure across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and multi-cloud environments. Coverage goes beyond surface-level awareness to examine the specific failure modes organizations face and the tools and approaches being built to address them.
A recurring theme is that traditional security approaches aren’t keeping pace with how cloud environments actually behave. Articles examine why static scanning and perimeter-based defenses fall short in dynamic cloud deployments, the case for runtime protection over pre-deployment scanning alone, and why real-time visibility has become a prerequisite for effective cloud defense. Vendor coverage includes deep dives into Aqua Security, Orca Security, SentinelOne, Stream Security, Sweet Security, and Aryon.
Incident analysis is another core component. A breakdown of the $650 million Bybit crypto heist traces the breach to a misconfigured AWS S3 bucket — a reminder that preventable misconfigurations remain among the most costly cloud risks. Policy coverage addresses the Biden administration’s cybersecurity executive order and what it means for enterprise infrastructure teams.
Contributors include Tony Bradley, a CISSP-ISSAP credentialed journalist and Air Force veteran, alongside additional enterprise security writers. Content is written for cloud architects, security engineers, CISOs, and IT leaders responsible for protecting workloads they don’t fully control and environments that change faster than legacy tools can track.
I’ve been covering Aqua Security since the company was founded. Back then, DevOps was just hitting mainstream, containers were still the new shiny thing, and securing cloud native workloads at runtime felt like a bleeding-edge idea. Fast forward 11 years, […]
Aqua Security Bets Big on Runtime—Because Scanning Alone Isn’t Cutting It Read More »
I’ve been writing about cloud and cybersecurity long enough to remember when “visibility” was the answer to almost every problem. If something went wrong, the assumption was simple: we didn’t have enough data. Get more logs. Centralize them. Correlate everything.
Defending a Cloud That Changes Faster Than You Can See It Read More »
Attackers are using the latest in AI automation, while defenders remain stuck patching the past and just trying to keep up. At this point, most security teams can detect bad things that are happening in the network. The problem is

Cloud computing’s agility has permanently reshaped enterprise IT, but it also exposes new layers of vulnerability. Modern organizations run thousands of workloads across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud while orchestrating containers, microservices, and APIs that shift by the minute. Security
How Orca Security is Redefining Cloud Protection Through Context and Coverage Read More »
Cloud security has always been about keeping up with change. Containers, serverless apps, and multicloud infrastructure each forced defenders to rethink how they protected workloads. Now, AI is accelerating that evolution again — faster than anything before it. Traditional cloud-native

Enterprise security once revolved around the idea of a fixed perimeter: defend the network, and the organization stays safe. That model has collapsed. Businesses now run distributed applications across public clouds, private data centers, and edge environments that stretch across

For Mondelez International—the $80 billion global maker of Oreo, Ritz, and Chips Ahoy—the shift from Microsoft Azure to Amazon Web Services wasn’t just another IT project. It was a full-scale reinvention of how the company approaches cybersecurity in a hyper-connected

Yes, you read that correctly. One of the largest crypto heists in recent history didn’t stem from a cutting-edge zero-day exploit or a clandestine nation-state operation. It hinged on something far simpler—and entirely preventable: a misconfigured AWS S3 bucket. Let

Cloud security is broken in some fundamental ways. Organizations are stuck in an endless loop: deploy resources, scan for vulnerabilities, scramble to remediate. But what if misconfigurations and security risks never made it to production in the first place? It’s

President Biden’s sweeping Executive Order on Strengthening and Promoting Innovation in the Nation’s Cybersecurity underscores the urgent need for action against an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. It’s a comprehensive directive aimed at fortifying the government’s cybersecurity posture, but its impact
