Identity misconfigurations and unmanaged service accounts create silent backdoors that bypass perimeter controls and expose sensitive data across environments.

Static asset lists miss the dynamic nature of cloud infrastructure, leaving hidden entry points open to exploitation by attackers who exploit configuration drift.

Technical debt compounds over time, turning minor configuration oversights into systemic failures that cost more to fix than the original implementation.
