It is honestly so stressful how runtime threats can just stay hidden until some serious damage actually happens. By the time you get a loud alarm the situation is usually already a total mess. I have realized that early detection really comes down to understanding how your system actually behaves day to day rather than just looking at a configuration file. If you are only looking at the setup you are missing the whole story of what is happening once the code is live. I am trying to figure out how to actually stay ahead of this before it turns into a disaster. App layer attacks and identity misuse are just so subtle and blend in way too easily. How do you guys manage to keep an eye on things without it becoming a full time job for your entire team.
