Towards a better cloud vulnerability response model

This post argues that current cloud vulnerability disclosure and response processes lack transparency and coordination between cloud service providers (CSPs) and customers, as seen in cases like ChaosDB, OMIGOD, AWS IAM cross-account issues, and Log4j. It proposes a shared response model where CSPs provide enumerated security benchmarks, a threat model change log, and a cloud vulnerability database, while customers own vulnerability management and secure configuration, to enable clear, trackable actions and improve overall cloud security posture.
