Red team vs blue team refers to offensive security experts probing system defenses while defensive teams detect, respond to threats, and improve protection.

Reachability analysis determines which vulnerabilities in your cloud environment attackers can actually exploit by mapping attack paths from entry points to critical assets

Managed threat hunting is a proactive security service where experts search for hidden threats automated tools miss, reducing dwell time and potential damage.

Container escape is when an attacker breaks out of a container’s isolation to gain unauthorized access to the host system.

Cloud cost is the total spend across compute, storage, networking, observability, licensing, and third-party services in public clouds.

Understand the total cost of running Kubernetes: control plane, nodes, add‑ons, and time spent by engineers/operators.

OS license types are legal agreements that control how you can use, modify, and share operating system software.

This article explores why Azure cost governance needs your immediate attention, provides a practical tool-selection guide so you can make a choice that ticks all your “must-have” boxes, and shows you how to achieve cloud cost savings without weakening security.
