Attackers target files in cloud storage. Join AWS and Cloud Storage Security to see two exfiltration incidents traced end to end. We will show how native AWS guardrails and telemetry reveal the signals and how DataDefender turns those signals into fast, actor-time-object investigations. We will also cover access trails and bulk download patterns.

Cloud Storage-Layer Defense in Modern Cloud Environments

Recent high-profile data breaches, like the Coinbase attack, highlight a critical gap in cybersecurity: the lack of proactive activity monitoring. Despite significant investments in security resources, organizations remain vulnerable to both internal and external threats. This webinar will explore why activity monitoring is crucial in today's data-driven cloud environments, where data volume and dispersion are rapidly increasing. We'll delve into how activity monitoring works, covering both signature-based detection and anomaly detection, and demonstrate how these methods can prevent incidents like the Coinbase exfiltration and Ingram Micro ransomware attack. Learn best practices for protecting your organization's data and discover how solutions like Cloud Storage Security's DataDefender automate threat detection and mitigation, acting as a vital first and last line of defense.

Cloud Storage Security’s internal threat laboratory, Casmer Labs, has been hard at work discovering and identifying the most current and pressing threats to organizations that operate in the cloud.

In the second quarter of 2025, the lack of proactive activity monitoring, misconfigurations, and the proliferation of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) groups were the most prominent threats to organizations that store data in the cloud, resulting in tens of millions of records lost as well as the reputational damage that accompanied it.

Join us for this technical talk, where we will:  
Demonstrate how many attacks could have been prevented by using 
Analyze how leaked credentials and misconfigurations result in severe data loss
Educate viewers on how to prevent similar incidents from compromising their sensitive data stores
