The best way to understand cloud vulnerabilities is to combine continuous monitoring with a multi-layered testing approach and contextual analysis of risk. You should start by using automated tools like vulnerability scanners and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to identify known issues, then perform penetration testing to find weaknesses.

Crucially, analyze vulnerabilities based on business context and threat actor motives to prioritize those with the highest potential impact.
