  • Securing AI Workloads in AWS: A Preventive Guardrails Guide (2026)

    AI agents are changing the cloud security boundary, connecting models, tools, identities, data, and production workflows. This blog explains why prompt-level safety is not enough, and how AWS-native controls like Bedrock Guardrails, IAM, SCPs, permission boundaries, and AgentCore policies can create preventive guardrails that stop unsafe cloud actions before they reach production.
  • The Mythos Lesson: Why Your Cloud Must Defend Itself

    Claude Mythos proved that every organization should assume vulnerabilities will be found and breaches can happen. But the attack chain only starts there. The real cloud security test is how far your environment lets an attacker go. As AI accelerates attack-path discovery, the answer is not faster response alone. It is a hardened, secure-by-design cloud architecture that blocks the attacker’s next move before it succeeds.

Why Cloud Security Visibility Isn’t Enough (The Prevention Gap)

As cloud change accelerates and agent-driven actions reshape risk, visibility alone is no longer enough. Complementing the visibility-based operating model with prevention is the next must-have step for security teams that need to stop critical risks from materializing in the first place.

Least Privilege in the Cloud: The Blast Radius Blind Spot

Least privilege alone can’t reduce blast radius in modern cloud environments. Preventive guardrails enforce limits at the resource level, complementing and strengthening your least privilege strategy.
