The paper explains why runtime insights are essential to make shift-left security effective in financial services cloud environments. Traditional shift-left scanning generates excessive noise and poor risk prioritization, while shield-right controls alone react too late. Runtime insights connect these approaches by showing what is actually running, exposed, and in use, enabling teams to focus on real risk. The paper describes key attributes such as in-use filtering, attack path analysis, real-time and end-to-end detection across workloads, identities, and cloud services. It shows how runtime context improves vulnerability management by prioritizing exploitable, fixable issues, strengthens posture management by detecting configuration drift continuously rather than via snapshots, and enhanc
