The cloud settings that quietly leave you exposed (AWS, GCP, Azure).
The misconfigurations we find again and again across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure — and how to close them before they become an incident.
By Sheer Safe
Most cloud breaches don’t start with a clever exploit. They start with a setting — a storage bucket left public, an over-privileged role, logging switched off so nobody notices. The same handful of misconfigurations show up across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
The usual suspects
Public storage, wildcard IAM permissions, unrestricted security groups, and missing multi-factor authentication on admin accounts account for a large share of what we find. None are exotic; all are quietly dangerous.
Close them systematically
Benchmark your environment against CIS, tighten IAM to least privilege, turn on logging and alerting, and add guardrails that stop risky settings from being created again. Do it once properly and you remove whole categories of risk, not just today’s finding.
