Cloud security
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.
