What Are Cloud Security Misconfigurations?
Cloud misconfigurations are errors or oversights in how cloud environments are set up—either manually by admins or automatically by DevOps tools.
Common examples include:
- Publicly exposed S3 buckets or blob storage
- Overly permissive Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles
- Unrestricted inbound ports in security groups or firewalls
- Disabled encryption at rest or in transit
- Exposed secrets or API keys in code repositories
- Unlogged or unmonitored environments
These misconfigurations give attackers a clear path into your systems—without even needing to hack anything.
Misconfigurations are silent—but we make sure your defenses speak loud and clear.
