KazaSec's take
Most public cloud incidents trace back to a misconfiguration — an overly permissive IAM role, a storage bucket left open, a default setting nobody revisited — rather than a flaw in the cloud provider itself. A cloud security review is built to catch exactly that class of mistake before it's found the hard way.
