This white paper from Vectra explores the challenges and strategies of detecting and responding to cyber threats in cloud environments.

The shared responsibility model puts the onus on cloud tenants to secure access, monitor activity, and manage configurations. Vectra advocates for continuous monitoring, behavioral analysis, and collaboration with cloud service providers to detect post-compromise behavior and prevent lateral movement across hybrid cloud environments.
