Episode 152 — Investigating Internal and External Attack Symptoms

This episode examines how to identify signs of both internal and external threats within cloud environments. Internal attack indicators may include unusual access patterns, privilege escalation, or unauthorized data transfers. External attacks often present as repeated failed login attempts, suspicious IP addresses, or abnormal network traffic volumes.

We also discuss using log analysis, anomaly detection, and behavioral monitoring to confirm suspected attacks and differentiate them from false positives. On the Cloud+ exam, you’ll need to demonstrate the ability to recognize, categorize, and begin investigation of attack symptoms.
