Mis-Configuration in the Cloud
Summary
This article announces a webinar hosted by AWS, a WiCyS Strategic Partner, focusing on cloud misconfigurations. The webinar will cover common patterns, threats, and risks associated with misconfigurations, as well as explaining the shared responsibility model and how organizations can protect themselves.

IFF Assessment
Cloud misconfigurations are a common and significant source of security vulnerabilities, making them a 'foe' to defenders.
Defender Context
Cloud misconfigurations remain a leading cause of data breaches and security incidents. Defenders need to be acutely aware of the shared responsibility model and implement robust configuration management and continuous monitoring to prevent and detect these issues. Understanding common misconfiguration patterns and the attack vectors they enable is crucial for proactive defense.
