Cloud Breaches Are Identity Breaches.

Identity is where it turns. We start from a foothold credential and follow the role assumptions, trust policies, and service principals that let one identity become another, across IAM abuse, service-level misconfigurations, data-store exposure, and lateral movement between accounts and tenants.

Because a cloud compromise is a chain of role assumptions rather than a single exploit, every privilege-escalation path is reproduced by hand and written up as a step-by-step trace your platform team can follow from the original credential to the data at the end.

Reports map IAM findings to CIS Benchmarks and provider best practices, and to SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS where regulated data lives in the environment.

The findings that end accounts are rarely zero-days. They are over-privileged roles, exposed access keys, and trust relationships that should not exist, and a CSPM dashboard scores each one in isolation while ignoring how they connect. Turning three medium findings into a cross-account compromise is the manual exercise we run before an attacker does, when the blast radius is your whole environment instead of one bucket.
