The Hacking Games: Hybrid Cloud Attack Surface Reduction

Webinars
Oct 14, 2024

Hybrid cloud tools simplify operations but can enable powerful lateral movement mechanisms if misconfigured. Identity is a growing attack surface across environments, and continuous monitoring, strict IAM controls, just-in-time access, and secure key custody are essential to reducing real-world exposure.

This meetup session explores security risks in hybrid cloud environments, focusing on how blurred boundaries between on-prem and cloud infrastructure can create new attack paths. It examines how centralized management capabilities can be abused for pivoting, privilege escalation, and bypassing network controls if cloud identity permissions and credential handling are misconfigured. It also discusses identity and access management weaknesses across different ecosystems, emphasizing identity as a primary attack surface spanning human accounts, machine identities, and tokens/keys. The session highlights defenses such as least privilege, just-in-time access, automation, monitoring, and secure key management.
