Lawfare Daily: What Can Be Done to Improve Cloud Security with Maia Hamin, Trey Herr, and Marc Rogers
The Cyber Safety Review Board\u2019s (CSRB) report on the Summer 2023 Microsoft Exchange online intrusion sheds light on how a series of flaws in Microsoft\u2019s cloud infrastructure and security processes allowed a hacking group associated with the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC) to strike the \u201cequivalent of gold\u201d in accessing the official email accounts of many of the most senior U.S. government officials managing the U.S. government\u2019s relationship with the PRC. Lawfare Senior Editor Stephanie Pell sat down Maia Hamin, Associate Director with the Atlantic Council\u2019s Cyber Statecraft Initiative; Trey Herr, Assistant Professor of cybersecurity and policy at American University\u2019s School of International Service and Director of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council; and Marc Rogers, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer for the AI observability startup nbhd.ai, to discuss their recent Lawfare piece about the CSRB\u2019s report and the lagging state of cloud security policy. They talked about ways to improve cloud service provider transparency, other investigative and regulatory tools that could facilitate better cloud security, and their thoughts on Microsoft\u2019s response to the CSRB\u2019s report.
