Weak IAM affects up to 98% of cloud environments

Misconfiguration in cloud environments remains a significant threat, with a single error potentially exposing networks, encryption keys, and logging systems. CISA has mandated baseline cloud configuration practices for US federal agencies, reflecting the complexity of managing security across multiple cloud providers with different models and terminology.

Why it matters: Security practitioners managing multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud need to implement baseline configuration standards now, as misconfigurations affect a majority of cloud environments and can create multiple exposures simultaneously.
