The top cloud misconfigurations we still see in production
A short checklist from real assessments. Start with what blows up your blast radius fastest.
Wide open buckets and IAM roles that grew teeth over time still show up all the time. Usually nobody meant harm, things just drifted as more teams touched the cloud. Treat permissions like code someone reviews.
If you cannot answer within a few minutes who did what in which account, response will crawl when you need it to run. Logging is not glamorous until it is.
Network splits still earn their keep. IAM will fail eventually. Segments buy you minutes and hours when minutes matter.
