Vulnerability operations extend beyond scanning, focusing on how findings are prioritized, tracked, and remediated across thousands of resources. This episode covers how risk-based prioritization ens…

Configuration management goes hand in hand with posture and change management, ensuring systems remain aligned with secure baselines. This episode discusses how baselines are established, how continu…

Change management ensures that updates to cloud environments are controlled, predictable, and secure. In this episode, we explore how guardrails, approval workflows, and documented exceptions keep sy…

Forensics in the cloud is complicated by lack of physical access, but it remains essential for investigations. This episode examines how evidence is acquired from cloud platforms, how chain of custod…

Incident response in the cloud requires adapting traditional processes to dynamic, distributed environments. This episode covers how cloud-specific triage differs from on-premises, emphasizing challe…

Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms transform operations by codifying response actions into playbooks. This episode explains how triggers from SIEMs or monitoring system…

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) addresses one of the leading causes of breaches: misconfiguration. In this episode, we explore how CSPM tools automatically detect weaknesses, enforce baselin…

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems remain a cornerstone of security operations, but in the cloud, they must adapt to ingest vast amounts of telemetry from distributed sources. T…

Effective monitoring is at the heart of cloud security operations, providing the visibility required to detect, analyze, and respond to threats. In this episode, we discuss monitoring strategies that…

Domain 5 introduces the operational side of cloud security, where the focus shifts from architecture and design to the day-to-day activities that ensure systems remain secure, resilient, and complian…

Delivery strategies determine how applications are released into production, and security must be considered at every step. In this episode, we compare blue/green deployments, canary releases, and ro…

DevSecOps integrates security into every stage of the development and delivery process. This episode explains how pipelines enforce security gates, how automated policies validate code and infrastruc…

Configuration management ensures that applications run consistently and securely across environments. In this episode, we explore how feature flags, environment variables, and default settings play c…

Containers bundle applications and dependencies, but their security depends on careful control across the lifecycle. This episode examines how images are built, stored in registries, and deployed in …

Serverless applications offer scalability and efficiency but bring unique risks. In this episode, we explore how event-driven models introduce vulnerabilities such as event injection, where malformed…

Even well-tested applications face threats once deployed, making runtime protection essential. This episode covers technologies that monitor application behavior in real time, including runtime appli…

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) examines applications while they are running, simulating external attacks to uncover vulnerabilities that may not appear in source code. Interactive Applic…

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) analyzes source code or binaries to identify vulnerabilities before software is deployed. In this episode, we explain how SAST fits into cloud application d…

Modern applications rely heavily on open-source libraries and frameworks, which can accelerate innovation but also expand the attack surface. In this episode, we analyze the risks associated with ope…

Embedding secrets directly in code is one of the most common and dangerous mistakes developers make. In this episode, we examine why hardcoding credentials, API keys, or tokens creates significant ri…
