This ebook examines how common attacks unfold in cloud environments by breaking down three major patterns: ransomware, software supply chain compromise, and malicious cryptomining. It explains how cloud-native architectures change attacker tactics, with misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and identity misuse replacing traditional endpoint exploits. Through detailed scenarios, it shows how attackers abuse IAM policies, metadata services, CI/CD pipelines, and container platforms to gain access, escalate privileges, and monetize attacks at scale. The guide emphasizes that cloud complexity increases risk, especially when least-privilege principles are poorly enforced. It concludes that effective defense requires understanding cloud-specific attack paths, continuous monitoring, strong ide
