This intermediate module dives deep into the most common and catastrophic cloud security failures: storage misconfigurations. You will learn how attackers discover and exploit exposed object storage (like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and GCP Cloud Storage) due to weak bucket policies, disabled public access blocks, and legacy ACLs. The curriculum covers practical detection techniques, the mechanics of data exfiltration, and how to architect bulletproof storage environments using encryption, strict IAM policies, and automated compliance guardrails.

## Lessons

1. What Is Storage Misconfiguration and Why Does It Matter (30 min)
2. Common Bucket/Blob Exposure Patterns (30 min)
3. Guided Lab: Finding and Fixing a Public Storage Bucket (30 min)
