Cloud security fundamentals every developer should know
NEO Campus Editorial17 January 20266 min read

Most cloud breaches trace back to a small set of misconfigurations. Knowing them is more useful than a long compliance checklist.
Least privilege IAM
Default-deny, scoped roles, and short-lived credentials. Wildcard policies are how breaches happen.
Block public buckets
Account-level public access blocks are free and prevent the single most common data leak.
Log everything
Audit logs you do not collect cannot help you. Centralise and retain them.
