Cloud security is moving from finding misconfigurations to fixing them faster. As AWS environments change, teams need a continuous way to prioritize risk, use AI to understand impact, and automate routine remediation while maintaining control over infrastructure changes.
The articles below cover AWS security and compliance topics including security posture management, audit readiness, remediation prioritization, cloud governance, identity and access, and configuration risk. They also examine how AI and automation can help teams interpret findings and address issues more efficiently.
Kalos helps AWS teams maintain security and compliance across accounts and regions with continuous monitoring, context-aware guidance from KAI, and automated remediation for supported findings. Configurable approvals, execution history, and rollback controls help teams automate carefully.
Ten security and compliance leaders shared how they manage vulnerability remediation inside their cloud compliance programs. Their insights converge on one idea: remediation succeeds when every finding has an owner, a deadline, and proof that it was fixed.
Cloud migration has become table stakes for many organizations, but moving workloads to the cloud does not automatically make them secure. Misconfigured cloud environments are a leading cause of data breaches, , and the damage often traces back to decisions made months or years earlier: a role granted too much access, a storage bucket left open, or a backup policy that was never tested.
In April 2026, AWS Audit Manager entered maintenance mode and is closed to all new accounts.
Key Takeaways:
Many organizations struggle to implement cloud cost and security recommendations despite knowing they need improvement. Industry experts have identified ten organizational barriers that consistently prevent companies from taking action on critical recommendations. Understanding these obstacles is the first step toward building more responsive and secure cloud operations.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) helps organizations continuously find and fix security risks in their cloud environments, especially misconfigurations, overly permissive access, and compliance gaps.
Because cloud infrastructure changes constantly, security issues can appear quickly and go unnoticed. CSPM tools provide ongoing visibility, automated checks against best practices and frameworks, and alerts that help teams reduce exposure before it turns into an incident.
Cloud cost and security are inherently intertwined by design, but seldom evaluated together. The most effective cloud infrastructure management strategy uses cost efficiencies to directly fund security improvements.
