Cloud - Shadow datacenter?

As organizations rush to adopt cloud-first strategies, many are unknowingly creating new security blind spots. Without proper oversight and security controls, cloud environments can become shadow data centers - accessible to attackers but invisible to security teams.

As a cyber Security Consultant, with focus on Network security, I often find, that companies lack insight in their cloud environment.
The case is often, that management has ordered a focus on cloud, without proper funding or at least proper focus on getting the help/knowhow to implement this.
