Anatomy of a Modern Cloud Attack Surface: Identity as the New Perimeter | Part 4 of 4
Traditional network defenses are obsolete in the cloud era. Today, identities—user accounts, service accounts, and APIs—are the primary attack surface, driving 90% of breaches (Software Analyst Cyber Research). Attackers exploit credential theft, privilege escalation, and misconfigurations, as seen in high-profile incidents like Microsoft’s SAS token exposure.
Key Strategies:
- Adopt Zero Trust with least-privilege access
- Monitor continuously using AI-driven behavioral analytics
- Reduce identity sprawl via automated IAM audits

In the cloud, your security is only as strong as your weakest identity—proactive measures are no longer optional, but critical for survival.
