As enterprises accelerate their cloud adoption, traditional security tools struggle to keep pace. The cloud introduces unique attack surfaces, rapid changes in infrastructure, and cloud-specific threats that solutions like SIEM, EDR, and SOAR weren’t designed to handle. This is where Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) comes into play—providing real-time cloud visibility, contextual insights, and guided response to threats across multi-cloud environments.

The momentum behind CDR isn’t just hype—it’s necessity. Cloud threats are evolving in real time, and security teams need tools that can keep up.

I'm thrilled to announce I've joined Stream as the Field CISO. After years immersed in the security world, including my time at OG&E, where I focused on building and maturing their cloud security infrastructure and processes, I'm excited to take on this new challenge and contribute to a company that's truly at the forefront of Cloud Security.

CSPM was never built for detection and response. It was built for prioritization. Trying to bolt real-time response onto a static, scan-based system doesn’t just fall short—it actively misleads security teams.

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a globally recognized knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques that provides a structured model for cyber threats. In the context of cloud computing (such as Amazon Web Services),ATT&CK is extremely useful for mapping out potential attack paths and strengthening AWS security. By aligning AWS security monitoring and incident response with ATT&CK tactics, security teams gain a common language to describe threats and can ensure coverage for each phase of an attack lifecycle. This helps SOC analysts and cloud security engineers systematically detect malicious behavior and respond effectively, using AWS’s native tools and logdata.

Stream.Security, the leading provider of real-time cloud detection and response solutions, has been recognized as a Cool Vendor in the Gartner® report, “Cool Vendors™ for the Modern Security Operations Center."

Discover how real-time context in cloud security can reduce false positives and improve threat response. Stream Security provides visibility into network reachability, identity exploitability, and security controls, helping teams prioritize genuine risks and mitigate threats efficiently without disrupting business operations.

As organizations increasingly migrate to the cloud, the landscape of cybersecurity evolves, presenting new and complex challenges for security teams. The dynamic nature of cloud environments, coupled with the scale and sophistication of potential threats, demands a proactive and context-driven approach to threat detection. Traditional security measures often fall short, requiring security teams to adapt and develop strategies that can effectively identify, prioritize, and neutralize threats in the cloud. In this blog, we’ll review threat detection challenges in the cloud, and how Stream Security can help overcome these challenges.
