CNAPPs & CSPMs don’t tell the full cloud security story

CNAPPs & CSPMs don’t tell the full cloud security story

In this episode we speak to Nick Jones, an expert in offensive cloud security and Head of Research at WithSecure to expose the biggest security gaps in cloud environments and why CNAPPs and CSPMs alone are not enough often.

  • How cloud pentesting differs from traditional pentesting
  • Why CSPMs & CNAPPs don’t tell the full cloud security story
  • The biggest cloud attack paths—identity, IAM users, and CI/CD
  • Why “misconfigurations vs vulnerabilities” is the wrong debate
  • How organizations should prepare for a cloud pentest


With real-world examples from red team engagements and cloud security research, Nick shares insider knowledge on how attackers target AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes environments—and what security teams can do to stop them.
