 Introduction

Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud are increasingly targeted by crypto-miners, account hijackers, and misconfiguration exploits.
At CyberDudeBivash Threat Labs, we ran a DEMO detection exercise using real-world tools to identify and mitigate active cloud threats in real time.

---

 Threat Vectors We Simulated

• Compromised IAM Keys → Unauthorized access to cloud storage.
• Cryptojacking Payloads → Hidden crypto mining in containers.
• Misconfigured Buckets → Exposed databases & customer records.
• Privilege Escalation → Attackers exploiting overly permissive IAM roles.
• API Exploits → Abusing weakly protected APIs in SaaS workloads.

---

 Tools Used in Our Demo

1. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

• Scanned for open S3 buckets, misconfigured IAM roles, and unused keys.
  Try Prisma Cloud

2. EDR + XDR Integration

• Used SentinelOne + CrowdStrike Falcon for endpoint monitoring.
• Detected cryptojacking in under 3 minutes.

3. SIEM Correlation

• Splunk dashboard showed anomalous login attempts from Russia & Brazil.

4. Threat Intel Feeds (MISP + AbuseIPDB)

• Flagged malicious IPs targeting Kubernetes clusters.

5. Deception Technology (Honeytokens)

• Fake IAM tokens were deployed → attacker grabbed them → triggered instant alerts.

 DEMO Highlights (CyberDudeBivash Lab)

 Found exposed cloud API keys in logs.
 Detected unauthorized container mining.
 Blocked C2 callbacks from infected workloads.
Prevented data exfiltration attempts via DNS tunneling.

 Recommendations for Cloud Security

• Enforce least privilege IAM roles.
• Use AI-driven anomaly detection for login & network flows.
• Enable multi-factor authentication everywhere.
• Regularly audit cloud logs with SIEM + Threat Intel feeds.
• Deploy honeypots/honeytokens to detect intruders early.
