AI is accelerating innovation — and accelerating attackers. From prompt injection and data exfiltration to cloud privilege escalation, adversaries are increasingly exploiting AI-powered architectures to move faster than traditional defenses.

According to the CrowdStrike 2025 Threat Hunting Report, cloud intrusions surged 136% in the first half of 2025 (compared to all of 2024) and adversaries are rapidly sharpening their tactics in the cloud, making visibility into cloud events a non-negotiable for security teams.

As teams accelerate their cloud adoption, threat actors are quickly learning how to use cloud-specific features to gain access to your resources and disrupt operations. To maintain a high security bar, security teams must understand how unauthorized users leverage cloud features to reach their targets.

Organizations migrate and modernize on AWS to improve agility, scale, and resilience. An effective security strategy must function seamlessly in a dynamic cloud environment with each team’s unique cloud operational practices.

In the last two years, the shift to cloud adoption has accelerated. This rapid shift has reinforced the importance of protecting IT assets from the latest cyber threats.
