Ep 19 - Cloud Security Chaos: When Identity, Kubernetes, APIs, and AI Collide

🎙️ Coffee, Chaos and ProdSec, Ep 19

Cloud security keeps getting more complicated, but identity keeps getting ignored.

So this week, Kurt and Cameron grab their coffee and dig into why identity failures are quietly powering most modern cloud incidents.

From service accounts that never die, to Kubernetes clusters held together with cluster admin access and hope, to APIs nobody remembers exposing, this episode walks through the real reasons cloud security keeps falling apart at scale.

They talk through why teams still treat workload identities like humans, how Kubernetes creates a false sense of safety, why API sprawl and logging pipelines leak more data than people realize, and where AI actually helps versus where it just adds noise and false confidence.

There’s no vendor pitch here. Just honest conversations about tradeoffs, broken assumptions, and the gap between cloud security best practices and what actually survives in production.

If you work in Cybersecurity, Application Security, Product Security, DevSecOps, Software Supply Chain Security, or you’re trying to make sense of cloud chaos without the buzzwords, this one’s for you.
