As cloud supply chain attacks escalate in sophistication, traditional SBOMs alone prove insufficient for comprehensive security. While SBOMs provide valuable component inventories, they lack runtime verification capabilities—creating a critical blind spot that malicious actors increasingly exploit. This gap between static analysis and runtime behavior represents one of the most significant vulnerabilities in modern cloud environments.

The "Bill of Behavior" (BoB) approach addresses this challenge by providing vendor-supplied profiles of expected runtime behaviors. Generated using eBPF technology, BoBs codify legitimate syscalls, file access patterns and network communications. This enables immediate anomaly detection without custom rule creation, allowing organizations to verify software integrity throughout the supply chain and during execution, dramatically reducing the attack surface while simplifying security operations.

Join Dr. Constanze Roedig, Key Researcher at SBA-Research and Founder of Fusioncore.ai, to discover how this emerging standard complements existing SBOM frameworks to create verifiable trust in your cloud ecosystem.

Every minute your cloud infrastructure grows, it creates new entry points for potential attacks. As organizations rush to embrace cloud innovations, they're unknowingly building digital labyrinths where traditional security measures fall short.

Cloud security threats are often perceived as purely technical challenges, but the human factor remains one of the most significant and underestimated risks. Misconfigurations, weak passwords, phishing attacks, and inadequate training open doors to breaches even in sophisticated environments. Employees inadvertently expose sensitive data through social engineering, while administrators overlook crucial updates. Insider threats pose significant risks when cloud systems are accessible from anywhere.

Join Jyotirmayee Pradeep Kumar, Vice President of Cloud DevOps at a leading global bank, to explore human factors in cloud security threats.
