Cloud breaches are getting more expensive and harder to contain: the average incident now costs around USD 4.9M and can take roughly 9 months to fully resolve, with costs climbing even higher when attackers remain undetected for more than 200 days. In this joint session with Amish Shah from AWS and experts from Infoblox, we’ll unpack the economics behind that trend, explain why traditional “detect and respond” approaches struggle in modern cloud environments, and show what a more preemptive model looks like in practice. You’ll learn practical ways to move controls closer to where attacks start—using signals like DNS and curated managed rules—and walk away with concrete steps to shorten breach lifecycles, cut alert noise, and build a stronger business case for investing in controls that stop attacks before they become incidents.
