Misconfigured IAM Roles: Answers to the Questions You Are Asking
Most identity failures stem from implicit deny rules being overridden by overly broad resource wildcards in policy statements.

Data Controllers vs Processors: Why the Distinction Stops Breaches
Defining who controls data and who processes it shifts liability, forces stricter vendor vetting, and prevents silent data leakage that standard contracts miss.
