How secure is your cloud configuration

Misconfigurations are one of the leading causes of cloud breaches, accounting for nearly 70% of incidents last year. I’m curious about what proactive measures everyone takes to prevent this. Do you have any specific tools or practices you’ve found effective in managing your cloud security posture?

Misconfigurations can be tricky! I find using tools like AWS Config helps keep track… Have you tried that?

I totally agree that misconfigurations are a major risk. I use Terraform to manage my infrastructure as code — it really helps enforce consistency and minimize human error. Have you considered automation for your configurations? @rjensen71.
