Cloud Security Assessment: Key Risks in AWS, Azure and GCP

Overly permissive IAM roles and policies are the single most common finding across cloud environments. A single over-privileged service account can turn a minor compromise into full environment takeover.

Publicly accessible storage buckets, unencrypted databases, and misconfigured backup snapshots continue to expose sensitive data years after cloud adoption became mainstream. Assessments systematically enumerate every storage and data service across the account.

Serverless functions, container registries, and managed network services each introduce their own configuration risks. A thorough cloud assessment maps the full attack surface rather than checking a generic compliance list.
