Protecting Multi-Cloud Resources in the Era of Modern Cloud-Based Cyberattacks

This Mandiant white paper presents a cloud-agnostic, tiered privileged access architecture for hybrid multi-cloud environments, describing controls such as resource and credential tiering, zero-trust access, scalable governance, and monitoring. It highlights risks from misconfigurations and fragmented identity/access models, illustrates observed attack scenarios, and offers practical recommendations to reduce lateral movement and protect critical cloud assets.
