Cloud Security Fundamentals: IAM to Detection

So far this fall, every target has been a network we run ourselves. Tonight the network lives in somebody else's data center, and the perimeter is a login.

A lot of cloud incidents don't start with an exploit. They start with an identity that has more access than it needs, or a setting nobody checked. We'll walk through how identity and access work in the cloud, misconfigure one on purpose in a lab account we own, and then find the trail it left in the logs.

This one is network-wide. HQ in the DMV, Atlanta, and South Florida on the same call.

🎯 What We'll Cover
- The shared responsibility model: what the cloud provider secures and what's still on you
- Identity is the perimeter: users, roles, and what least privilege looks like in practice
- One misconfiguration, live: how it happens and the log entry that gives it away
- The certs on this path (AWS, Azure, CCSP) and how to practice without running up a bill
