Cloud migration has become table stakes for organizations, but moving to the cloud doesn't automatically mean everything is moving securely. Misconfigured cloud environments are a leading cause of data breaches, and the damage is usually from (mis)configuration decisions made months or years earlier, like a role granted too much access, a storage bucket left open,or a backup policy that was never tested. 

You've seen the headlines. "Three easy ways to cut your cloud bill." "High-impact, low-effort cost savings." “Quick wins.” "Start optimizing in minutes."

If your company runs on AWS, relies on AWS-native tools, and you've tried to act on any of that advice, you know the truth: managing cloud costs is definitely not easy, it's rarely straightforward, and "low effort" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in those claims.
