Episode notes
Hybrid Cloud Security Challenges
- Organizations struggle to secure hybrid cloud environments due to siloed security teams and differing approaches.
- They often treat cloud as an extension of on-premise, neglecting cloud-native security advantages.
On-Prem to Cloud Attacks
- Attackers exploit shared identity stores between on-premise and cloud environments.
- Compromised on-premise credentials grant access to the cloud, bypassing cloud security measures.
Identity Isolation
- Isolate privileged cloud accounts from central identity stores.
- This prevents on-premise compromises from affecting cloud access.
