- What is the principle of least privilege and how does it apply to IAM roles in AWS?
- How does privilege escalation actually happen inside a cloud account's IAM, and how would you set a hard ceiling on what any identity can do regardless of its policies?Go Pro

- Your CSPM and CNAPP tooling generates thousands of findings a week that the team can't possibly work through. How do you decide what actually gets fixed?Go Pro
- How do you design IAM in a cloud account so that a single compromised workload can't be used to escalate privileges or move laterally?Go Pro
- How can a server-side request forgery bug lead to stolen cloud credentials, and how do you stop it?Go Pro
- What is the shared responsibility model in cloud security, and what does it mean for what you're responsible for?Go Pro
