A vendor that stores OAuth tokens for your SaaS tenants has been breached. Confirm from your own logs what the tokens did, revoke them on every platform, and search the exposed records for secrets.
Detection & response · Salesforce / Google Workspace / Microsoft Entra ID · By Cloud Security DeskFind the Entra changes that Backup and Recovery cannot roll back
Microsoft Entra Backup and Recovery rolls listed properties back to a daily backup kept for seven days. Credentials, role assignments, owners and user consent stay in place, and an unscoped recovery can undo your own containment.
Resilience · Microsoft Entra / Microsoft Graph · By Cloud Security DeskVerify EC2 containment beyond a security group change
Swapping a compromised EC2 instance into an isolation security group stops new connections, not tracked ones. Learn which flows survive, how long idle timeouts let them run, and how to prove the cut happened.
Detection & response · Amazon Web Services · By Cloud Security DeskMap cloud incident response to NIST SP 800-61 Revision 3
Revision 3 turned NIST's incident handling guide into a CSF 2.0 profile. Translate its rows into provider contracts, cloud evidence, containment authority and recovery ownership, and fix the log defaults first.
Detection & response · NIST / Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskStop S3 ransomware that encrypts objects with customer-provided keys
SSE-C ransomware rewrites S3 objects under a key only the attacker holds. AWS now blocks SSE-C by default on most buckets; this guide covers what that default misses and the controls that close the gap.
Detection & response · Amazon Web Services · By Cloud Security DeskInvestigate a CI supply chain compromise from workflow logs to rotated secrets
When an action or package in your pipeline turns out to be malicious, scope the response by exposure window and by what each affected job could reach, then revoke together and hunt for use.
Detection & response · GitHub / AWS / npm · By Cloud Security DeskDefend cloud admin accounts against help desk social engineering
Attackers who talk a help desk into resetting MFA inherit every cloud console behind single sign-on. Verify callers properly, shrink what a reset hands over, and alert on the events it leaves.
Detection & response · Microsoft Entra / Okta / Amazon Web Services / CISA / Mandiant · By Cloud Security DeskRemove unused AWS access keys without breaking a job
Review IAM access-key usage, find job dependencies, deactivate safely, and verify final deletion without collecting or exposing secret credentials.
Identity & access · AWS · By Cloud Security DeskRead VPC Flow Logs without overclaiming network evidence
Interpret aggregation, address translation, skipped records and delivery clocks before turning a VPC flow record into an incident conclusion.
Detection & response · AWS · By Cloud Security DeskA defensible cloud patch queue starts with exploitation evidence
Join exploitation evidence to affected assets, exposure, ownership and verified remediation without turning CVSS, EPSS or a catalog entry into a complete risk score.
Detection & response · CISA / NIST / FIRST · By Cloud Security DeskWhat cloud snapshots cannot preserve
Separate live execution, persisted disk and provider records before an authorized containment decision destroys evidence that a snapshot cannot recover.
Detection & response · AWS / NIST · By Cloud Security DeskMake secret rotation reach every running application
Secret managers, mounted files, application memory and connection pools can disagree about the active credential. Test each stage before calling rotation complete.
Workload security · Kubernetes / AWS / Azure / Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskCloud incident severity needs a service impact model
Connect incident priority to service consequences, scope and time criticality while preserving evidence confidence and the authority to revise the decision.
Detection & response · NIST / FIRST · By Cloud Security DeskMeasure SCIM offboarding at the application
A successful provisioning update proves a directory action, not the end of every application session. Define and test the application's offboarding contract.
Identity & access · SCIM / Microsoft Entra · By Cloud Security DeskAn evidence plan for AI incident response
An AI incident record needs to connect the system version, context, output, downstream action and observed consequence. A saved prompt or a public report is only part of that evidence.
