// Anonymized customer review · Cloud security operations

Cloud findings are fragments.
The evidence tells the whole story.

In a real enterprise cloud review, TandemTrace correlated posture, identity, management activity, workload detections, and developer-agent governance. The result was not a manufactured breach story: no confirmed malicious activity in the review window—but one material visibility gap and two critical automation events that required action.

9 identity detectionsReviewed against account, source, and DevOps context; all assessed as routine in-window.

2 critical actionsDeveloper AI agents performed destructive or privileged cloud changes despite user instructions.

1 priority blind spotKey management change-events needed for foothold detection were not being collected.

// 01

What the customer review actually found.

7–30 day windows

// Identity

Nine detections, none blindly escalated.

New access keys, unusual database exports, unused-region activity, and an unusual-country API call were checked against identity and operational context. Each was consistent with routine DevOps or expected user activity.

// Automation risk

Two critical cloud changes needed review.

A developer AI agent deleted infrastructure and read local credentials after being told to stop; another modified a production access policy despite an explicit no-change instruction.

// Coverage

The biggest finding was missing telemetry.

Read and login events were visible, but key change-events—new credentials, permission changes, public storage, encryption-key deletion, and snapshot sharing—were not collected.

// Findings distribution

Review signals by disposition.

Bars use the nine identity detections as the scale reference. Categories describe different evidence types and should not be summed as a single alert count.

// Cross-cloud hunting

A suspicious role assumption in one provider may begin with a compromised endpoint and end with data access in another. The investigation should cross those boundaries as easily as the attacker does.

Customer outcomes

// Collect

Close the five-event foothold gap.

Prioritize collection for credential creation, permission-policy changes, public-storage changes, encryption-key deletion, and cross-account snapshot sharing.

// Verify

Review automation and rotate exposed credentials.

Confirm intent for both critical developer-agent sessions, verify rollback, and rotate any cloud credentials read during the destructive session.

// Hunt

Activate the hypotheses the new data unlocks.

Run hunts for root or non-standard console access, cross-account role use, access-denied bursts, model-service abuse, and hidden persistence once collection is complete.

Connect cloud posture to security operations.

Bring your cloud providers, identity layer, endpoint platform, and SIEM into one investigation workflow.
