This guide provides a strategic overview of modern cloud threats and how CISOs must adapt detection and response strategies. It highlights trends such as malware-free intrusions, identity abuse, and AI-enabled adversaries operating at cloud scale. The document emphasizes that traditional endpoint-centric defenses are insufficient in cloud environments where attackers exploit native tools and credentials. It introduces a three-pillar defense framework: unified cross-domain visibility, speed through automation, and threat-informed prioritization. By aligning security operations with real adversary behavior, CISOs can reduce dwell time, improve decision-making, and protect cloud workloads, identities, and data before incidents escalate into business-impacting events.
