Capabilities › Cloud Security
Cloud Security — most current exploitation doesn't touch a server room anymore.
62% of detections in cloud environments trace back to misconfiguration and IAM exploitation, not novel malware. SIRI's cloud security capability tests configuration, identity and access paths across AWS, Azure and GCP the way they're actually attacked.

Leading category
62%
62% of detections in cloud environments trace back to misconfiguration and IAM exploitation (DSCI) — not novel exploits, but preventable configuration and access errors.
Environment complexity
90%+
Over 90% of enterprises now operate in multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments, multiplying the number of configuration surfaces that need review.
Identity is the perimeter
IAM
In cloud environments, identity and access management has effectively replaced the network perimeter as the primary control boundary — and the primary target.
Drift risk
CONTINUOUS
Cloud configuration changes continuously through infrastructure-as-code, autoscaling and self-service provisioning — a point-in-time review is stale within weeks.
Standardising
CSPM & CIEM
Cloud security posture management and cloud infrastructure entitlement management have emerged as standard categories for continuous cloud configuration and access review.
The cloud didn't remove the perimeter — it moved it into configuration
A misconfigured storage bucket or an over-privileged role is now a more common way in than a novel exploit.
Most serious cloud incidents don't involve a zero-day. They involve a storage bucket left public, a role with broader permissions than its task requires, or a trust relationship between accounts that was never meant to allow the access it does. These aren't exotic findings — they're the kind of configuration drift that accumulates naturally as cloud environments scale and change.
62% of detections in cloud environments trace to misconfiguration and IAM exploitation — meaning the majority of what's actually being exploited is preventable, not novel. With over 90% of enterprises now running multi-cloud or hybrid environments, the number of configuration surfaces, cross-account trust relationships and identity permissions to review has grown well past what manual, periodic review can keep up with.
62% of cloud-environment detections trace to misconfiguration and IAM exploitation
Meaning the majority of cloud risk is preventable configuration and access-control discipline, not exotic exploitation. (DSCI cloud-detection data.)
SIRI's cloud security testing maps configuration, identity permissions and cross-account trust relationships across AWS, Azure and GCP, and tests the actual attack paths an over-privileged role or misconfigured resource creates — feeding validated findings into SIRI Exposure for continuous tracking and SIRI MDR for cloud-specific detection.
What organisations get wrong
Four assumptions that leave cloud misconfiguration unfound
Most cloud security gaps aren't exotic — they're configuration drift nobody reviewed since it was set up.
01 — SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
“Our cloud provider secures the environment”
Cloud providers secure the infrastructure; configuration, IAM and access-control decisions inside that infrastructure remain the customer's responsibility entirely.
02 — STATIC REVIEW
“We reviewed our cloud config when we set it up”
Infrastructure-as-code, autoscaling and self-service provisioning mean configuration changes continuously — a review done at setup is stale within weeks.
03 — PERIMETER THINKING
“Our network security covers the cloud too”
Network-focused controls don't test IAM roles, cross-account trust relationships or storage-level permissions, which are where most cloud exploitation actually occurs.
04 — SCALE
“We're too small to be a cloud target”
Automated scanning for exposed cloud resources and misconfigurations targets by exposure, not organisation size — a public storage bucket is found the same way regardless of company size.

GOVERNANCE
Cloud Security Governance
Governance and policy so secure configuration is maintained, not just assessed once.
- Policy-as-code guidance
- Guardrail design
- Continuous compliance mapping
Evidence, not guesswork
No cloud security review vs. provider-default settings vs. SIRI Cloud Security — what actually differs
Default cloud settings and a tested security posture are different things.
| Approach | No dedicated cloud review | Provider-default settings only | SIRI Cloud Security |
|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration assessment cadence | None | Set once, rarely revisited | Continuous |
| IAM & privilege-escalation testing | No | Rare | Included |
| Multi-cloud & hybrid coverage | No | Depends on provider | Included |
| Cross-account trust relationship review | No | Rare | Included |
| Cloud-specific detection coverage | No | Basic provider alerts only | Tuned via SIRI MDR |

Why SIRI for cloud security specifically
Testing built for where the exploitation actually happens now
Cloud-native risk needs cloud-native testing, not network security applied to a different environment.
01
Cloud-aware by default
Testing is built around IAM, configuration and cross-account trust — the categories where cloud exploitation actually concentrates.
02
Multi-cloud & hybrid coverage
AWS, Azure, GCP and hybrid environments are covered under one consistent methodology, not siloed per platform.
03
Validated attack paths
Findings are tested as real privilege-escalation and lateral-movement paths, not just a list of misconfiguration flags.
04
Connected to detection
Validated findings feed directly into SIRI MDR's cloud-specific detection tuning and SIRI Exposure's continuous tracking.

OngoingFrequently asked
Cloud security, answered directly
Do you cover AWS, Azure and GCP, or just one?
All three, plus hybrid on-premises/cloud environments, under one consistent testing methodology so results are comparable across platforms.
Isn't this the cloud provider's responsibility?
Cloud providers secure the underlying infrastructure under the shared-responsibility model; configuration, identity and access decisions inside your environment remain your responsibility, and that's what this testing covers.
How is this different from a standard penetration test?
It's cloud-specific: IAM roles, cross-account trust relationships, storage permissions and cloud-native services, which conventional network-focused testing typically doesn't cover in depth.
Can you assess our environment without disrupting production?
Yes — cloud configuration and IAM review is largely non-disruptive; any active exploitation testing of identified paths is scoped and agreed with you in advance.
Do you help implement the fixes, or just report findings?
Both, as scoped — findings come with prioritised, practical remediation guidance, and policy-as-code or guardrail implementation support is available where needed.
