Cloud security architecture diagrams
A cloud security architecture places identity, network, workload and data controls around cloud services so one leaked key or misconfiguration cannot reach everything. These reference diagrams cover posture management, containers and Kubernetes, IAM, secrets, network segmentation and multi-cloud governance.
18 diagrams: CSPM, container security, IaC scanning, K8s hardening, posture.
The build-runner compromise scenario starts in exactly these pipelines.
- Security architecture design tool
- Cloud logging gap checker
- AWS IAM trust policy auditor
- Cloud security best practices
CSPM
Multi-cloud config drift, policy-as-code, remediation.
Container Security
Image scanning, runtime detection, admission control.
API Security
Discovery, schema validation, abuse detection.
IAM Platform
Roles, policies, JIT access, audit.
DDoS Mitigation
Anycast, scrubbing, layer-7 application defense.
Network IDS
Mirror traffic, signatures, anomalies, decryption tradeoffs.
Infrastructure-as-Code Security Scanning
A misconfiguration caught in a pull request never becomes a production incident.
Kubernetes Admission Control
Nothing reaches a cluster without passing two independent webhooks first.
Service Mesh Security
Services never talk directly — every call passes through a sidecar first.
Serverless Function Security
Each function gets its own scoped role — a shared broad role defeats the entire point.
Multi-Cloud Governance
One policy intent, three different native enforcement mechanisms.
Cloud Workload Protection Platform
One agent, every workload type — VMs, containers, and serverless, uniformly.
Software Supply Chain (SBOM/SLSA)
A build isn’t trustworthy because it works — it’s trustworthy because it’s attested.
Secrets Management at Scale
A secret that never expires is a secret that’s already halfway to being a permanent liability.
Cloud Network Segmentation
Flat networks and cloud networks look nothing alike, even when the diagram looks similar.
Data Lake Access Governance
Column-level tags decide who sees what — the underlying files never move.
FinOps-Security Convergence
An anomalous cost spike is often the earliest signal a security tool ever produces.
Disaster Recovery Architecture
An untested recovery plan is a hypothesis, not a capability.
