Key takeaways Cloud migrations often create blind spots, making real-time visibility essential for cyber defense Network-layer telemetry can overcome cloud log inconsistencies Following steps for monitoring and operationalizing visibility can improve defense This article was inspired by a Corelight DefeNDRs podcast. Listen here. The illusion of cloud simplicity “Don’t worry about security, the cloud has you covered!” Cloud migration was often promised with security that would “take care of itself.” In practice, dynamic infrastructure, overlapping APIs, container sprawl, and multi‑cloud architectures have created new blind spots and attack surfaces for security teams to protect. As common attacks now also evade EDR tools, defenders are revisiting a familiar lesson: cloud defense, like…
