Akash Mahajan on AI, Cloud Security, and the Rise of Invisible Threats

What's this about?

A deep-dive with Akash Mahajan on how AI is transforming cybersecurity, from classic cloud misconfigurations to the rise of invisible, intelligent threats.

What you'll learn:

Why AI-driven attacks are fundamentally different from past threats.

How simple cloud errors led to massive real-world data leaks.

The logic behind Kloudle’s product-led growth model and how it changes security access.

How “shadow AI” and LLM integration (MCP) can silently exfiltrate your company data.

Top Takeaways

Prompt Injection is the new front line: LLMs blur the boundary between trusted input and executable commands — creating a new attack vector.

Cloud misconfigurations remain deadly: Many major data breaches still stem from basic cloud setup errors rather than complex code vulnerabilities.

Security models must evolve: Traditional signature-based detection can’t keep up with AI-driven, adaptive attacks.

Resilience is the new security metric: DNS control, product-led growth, and proactive scanning are emerging as foundations for modern cyber defense.
