About this listen

 In this episode of Threat Vector, host David Moulton is joined by ⁠Nathaniel Quist⁠, Manager of Cloud Threat Intelligence at Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex. Together, they break down a large-scale cloud extortion campaign that exposed over 90,000 credentials across more than 1,100 cloud accounts. Quist shares how a single misconfiguration led to a wide-scale breach, why identity and access management remains a critical weak point, and how automation is changing the speed and style of cloud-native threats. Learn how to build a solid cloud posture, detect threats faster, and stay ahead of evolving extortion tactics.
