Cloud Misconfigurations: 5 Mistakes That Can Cost Millions
The cloud provides speed, scale, and flexibility. But it also introduces the potential for costly mistakes. In today's high-velocity environments, misconfigurations are among the leading causes of cloud breaches, outages, and compliance failures. This session reviews five critical cloud misconfigurations that have caused real-world damage & with guidance on how to spot and prevent them. These are universal patterns that apply across all major platforms. Those include: Publicly exposed storage and databases Over-permissive IAM roles and access policies Open ports and unrestricted network access Lack of outbound controls Insecure defaults in infrastructure-as-code templates Other Bonus points too. Through real examples and practical insights, the audience will learn about identifying these risks early, enforcing safer defaults, and building automated guardrails. This session supports developers, DevOps engineers, security leads, and architects in building and maintaining cloud environments that are resilient, secure, and audit-ready. A simple oversight should never become a million-dollar mistake.
