As organizations rapidly adopt cloud platforms, traditional audit approaches often fail to identify the risks that matter most. This webinar explores common audit blind spots in modern cloud environments, including misconfigurations, identity sprawl, excessive permissions, and ineffective continuous monitoring. Attendees will learn why checklist-based audits fall short in dynamic cloud environments and how leveraging Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and risk-based audit techniques can significantly improve assurance. Practical examples will illustrate how auditors and risk professionals can enhance visibility, prioritize findings, and provide stronger assurance to leadership.

After attending this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Identify common cloud security risks and misconfigurations that traditional audit programs frequently overlook.
• Understand why periodic, point-in-time audits are insufficient for cloud environments and how continuous change introduces audit gaps.
• Explain how Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools support continuous risk identification, control validation, and audit evidence collection.
• Apply practical techniques to modernize cloud audit programs, aligning audit, security, and risk teams around continuous assurance.
