Cloud Firewall Mistakes That Expose Your Infrastructure

Misconfigured cloud firewalls often allow more traffic than they block because default deny rules are frequently disabled by accident during rapid scaling.

Most cloud breaches occur because teams track only the resources they know exist, ignoring the silent expansion of ephemeral assets and forgotten storage buckets that accumulate over time.

Open security groups do not automatically mean open ports; they often hide complex misconfigurations that standard scanners miss entirely.

Insecure cloud APIs fail because they trust default access patterns, not because of missing firewalls, so you must enforce strict identity checks at the application layer.
