ShutterGap Exposes Millions of AWS Cloud Resources Between Security Scans
A critical blind spot in cloud security tooling, dubbed “ShutterGap,” in which millions of AWS resources are briefly and publicly exposed, only to disappear before traditional monitoring tools can detect them.

Exploiting Cloud Misconfigurations: How Attackers Find Cloud Attack Paths (Part 1 - The Basics)
Cloud attacks don’t always begin with a vulnerability. Often, they begin with a misconfiguration that gives an attacker a path in. In Part 1 of this series, we look at cloud environments from the attacker’s perspective and break down the three conditions behind many exploitable cloud attack paths: resource discovery, network accessibility, and identity-based access.
Five Reasons Your Cloud Security Solution Is Failing You
Your cloud security tools may be working exactly as designed. That’s the problem.
Security teams are still finding and fixing the same misconfigurations over and over. The issue isn’t the tools-it’s a reactive model that detects risk after it already exists. Here are five signs that model has reached its limit.
50 Ways to Break Production - Why Cloud Security Remediation Is Harder Than It Looks
Cloud remediation is rarely as simple as changing a setting. Fixes can break production, require architectural changes or migrations, and conflict with IaC ownership. Prevention takes a different path: enforce the right configuration before deployment, while the resource is still cheap and safe to change. This article explores the challenges of remediating issues safely and effectively, and highlights what teams need to consider when remediation is unavoidable.
Cloud ShutterGap: Millions of Cloud Resources Exposed - The Blind Spot CSPM/CNAPP Tools Don’t Cover
Aryon's research reveals millions of misconfigured ephemeral cloud resources, publicly exposed for only moments before being removed. Often, these exposures last only a few minutes, long enough for attackers to discover and exploit them, but too short for traditional CSPM and CNAPP tools to detect. Many of these resources contain highly sensitive information.
The Missing Link Between Security and Operation: Bringing Security Policy into the Moment of Deployment
In cloud environments, security and operations often meet too late. Security teams define the policies, best practices, compliance requirements, threat models, and risk tolerance that should guide how cloud resources are configured. DevOps and IT teams apply those decisions in practice as they create, configure, and change cloud resources every day.
