The short answer

Cloud security engineering secures AWS and Azure environments at the configuration and identity layer. LDelight reviews IAM, network exposure, encryption, logging and detection, then remediates and implements guardrails that prevent the misconfiguration from recurring.

Key takeaways

Identity is the perimeter — most cloud incidents start with over-permissive IAM
Public exposure and encryption gaps found and closed
Detection and response configured, not just enabled
Guardrails as policy-as-code so the fix is permanent

Cloud providers secure the platform. Almost every publicised cloud breach has been a customer configuration failure: an over-permissive role, a storage bucket left public, logging that was never switched on.

Identity first

We analyse every role and policy against actual usage, remove unused permissions, eliminate long-lived access keys in favour of federated short-lived credentials, and enforce MFA on anything privileged. This is where the largest reduction in blast radius comes from.

Network and data

Public exposure mapped and justified or removed. Encryption in transit and at rest with keys you control. Private endpoints for managed services so traffic never traverses the public internet.

Detection

GuardDuty, Security Hub or Defender for Cloud and Sentinel configured with tuned rules, findings routed to a place a human actually reads, and an incident runbook tested rather than filed.

Guardrails

Service control policies and Azure Policy that block the non-compliant deployment rather than reporting it afterwards. Remediation without guardrails is a task you will repeat every quarter.

What you get out of it

Blast radius of a compromised credential materially reduced
No unintended public exposure
Detection you can prove is working
Misconfiguration prevented rather than repeatedly fixed
