Learn Cloud Security in Public Cloud the unbiased way from CyberSecurity Experts solving challenges at Cloud Scale. We can be honest because we are not owned by Cloud Service Provider like AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
We aim to make the community learn Cloud Security through community stories from small - Large organisations solving multi-cloud challenges to diving into specific topics of Cloud Security.
We LIVE STREAM interviews on Cloud Security Topics every weekend on Linkedin, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter with over 150 people watching and asking questions and interacting with the Guest.

Creating Effective Sigma Rules with AI
Can Threat Detection be enhanced with AI? Ashish sat down with Dave Johnson, Senior Threat Intelligence Advisor at Feedly, at BSides SF 2024, where Dave also presented a talk.
Dave shares his journey in cyber threat intelligence, including his 15-year career with the FBI and his transition to the private sector. The conversation focuses on the innovative use of large language models (LLMs) to create Sigma rules for threat detection and the challenges faced along the way. Dave spoke about his four approaches to creating Sigma rules with AI, ultimately highlighting the benefits of prompt chaining and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.

Cloud Native Security Strategies for 2024
Is having a CSPM enough for Cloud Security? At RSA Conference 2024, Ashish sat down with returning guest Jimmy Mesta, Co-Founder and CTO of RAD Security, to talk about the complexities of Kubernetes security and why sometimes traditional Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) falls short in a Kubernetes-centric world.
We speak about the significance of behavioural baselining, the limitations of signature-based detection, the role of tools like eBPF in enhancing real-time security measures and the importance of proactive security measures and the need for a paradigm shift from reactive alert-based systems to a more silent and efficient operational model.

Real-World Cloud Security Challenges and Solutions Explained for 2024
What are the practical steps for orienting yourself in a new cloud environment? Ashish sat down with Rich Mogull and Chris Farris to explore the intricacies of effective cloud security strategies. Drawing on their extensive experience, Rich and Chris speak about critical importance of moving beyond just addressing vulnerabilities and embracing a more comprehensive approach to cloud security.Rich and Chris share their professional experiences and practical advice for anyone who finds themselves "airdropped" into an organization's cloud environment. They also discuss the development of the Universal Threat Actor Model and how it can help prioritize security efforts in a chaotic landscape of constant alerts and threats.

Why Least Privilege Matters in Cloud Security?
What's the best way to navigate least privilege complexities in a multi cloud environment? And how is the role of identity management evolving? We spoke to Jeff Moncrief from Sonrai Security on why identity is the new network in the cloud-driven world. We speak about the challenges of implementing least privilege in cloud environments, the misconceptions surrounding identity roles, and the critical importance of segmenting access across public clouds just as rigorously as we did on-premises.

How is Kubernetes Network Security Evolving?
How is eBPF impacting Kubernetes Network Security? In this episode, recorded LIVE at Kubecon EU Paris 2024, Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer at Isovalent took us through the technical nuances of eBPF and its role in enabling dynamic, efficient network policies that go beyond traditional security measures. She also discusses Tetragon, the new subproject under Cilium, designed to enhance runtime security with deeper forensic capabilities. A great conversation for anyone involved in Kubernetes workload management, offering a peek into the future of cloud-native technologies and the evolving landscape of network security.
