A single question can expose a major cloud risk: who is responsible? This episode breaks down the cloud shared responsibility model, revealing how unclear ownership, misconfigurations, and weak governance lead to data breaches, and how ISO/IEC 27017 helps close the gaps.

In this episode, we answer to:

Who is really accountable for cloud security failures?

Why do misconfigurations cause most cloud data breaches?

How does ISO/IEC 27017 strengthen cloud security governance?

Most organisations manage only build and operate, ignoring growth, where security risk explodes. Luigi Ferri reveals how CISOs miss the most critical phase, where scaling, DevOps, and rapid decisions create hidden security debt. This episode challenges leaders to shift from reactive controls to full product lifecycle governance before risk turns into incidents.

In this episode, we answer to:

Why is product growth the most dangerous phase for cybersecurity risk?

Are CISOs governing product lifecycle or just reacting to failures?

How does DevOps accelerate delivery but weaken security accountability?
