Detecting data exfiltration attempts from AWS S3 buckets by analyzing CloudTrail S3 data events, VPC Flow Logs, GuardDuty findings, Amazon Macie alerts, and S3 access patterns to identify unauthorized bulk downloads and cross-account data transfers.

Implementing Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) using Amazon Macie, Azure Information Protection, and Google Cloud DLP API to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across cloud storage, databases, and data pipelines.

Performing security reviews of serverless functions across AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and GCP Cloud Functions to identify overly permissive execution roles, insecure environment variables, injection vulnerabilities, and missing runtime protections.

Implement GCP Organization Policy constraints to enforce security guardrails across the entire resource hierarchy, restricting risky configurations and ensuring compliance at organization, folder, and project levels.

Implementing AWS Security Hub to aggregate security findings across AWS accounts, enable compliance standards like CIS AWS Foundations and PCI DSS, configure automated remediation with EventBridge and Lambda, and create custom security insights for organizational risk management.

Performing authorized privilege escalation assessments in AWS environments to identify IAM misconfigurations that allow users or roles to elevate their permissions using Pacu, CloudFox, Principal Mapper, and manual IAM policy analysis techniques.

Implementing Microsoft Defender for Cloud to enable cloud security posture management, workload protection across VMs, containers, databases, and storage, configure security recommendations, and set up adaptive security controls with automated remediation.

Performing authorized AWS penetration testing using Pacu, the open-source AWS exploitation framework, to enumerate IAM configurations, discover privilege escalation paths, test credential harvesting, and validate security controls through systematic attack simulation.

Detect lateral movement in Azure AD/Entra ID environments using Microsoft Graph API audit logs, Azure Sentinel KQL hunting queries, and sign-in anomaly correlation to identify privilege escalation, token theft, and cross-tenant pivoting.

Securing AWS Lambda execution roles by implementing least-privilege IAM policies, applying permission boundaries, restricting resource-based policies, using IAM Access Analyzer to validate permissions, and enforcing role scoping through SCPs.
