Ever wonder if simply “lifting and shifting” your on-prem strategies to the cloud might leave you with more headaches—and a bigger bill—than you bargained for?

In Episode 36 of Cyber After Hours—titled “Securing Cloud Infrastructure: Common Pitfalls to Avoid”—we dive headfirst into the real-world challenges of cloud adoption.

From the behind-the-scenes stories of trying to replicate old solutions in new environments (hint: it’s rarely cheaper) to the importance of data telemetry, attribution, and automation, this conversation tackles what it really takes to keep your cloud secure.

We explore how the cloud’s rapid scalability can be both a blessing and a curse, why understanding the difference between cloud and on-prem is a must, and how self-healing capabilities can offer stronger defenses (if you know how to use them).

You’ll also hear personal anecdotes about navigating unexpected costs, managing complexity in hybrid setups, and balancing the human factor with emerging AI tools.

Throughout the episode, we keep it genuine and relatable with the speakeasy vibe that defines our show—no distractions, just meaningful talk about staying ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Tune in, join the conversation, and learn how to steer clear of common pitfalls in cloud security. After all, in a world where technology transforms overnight, staying informed is your best defense.
