In this ROCon APAC 2025 session, Kunal Modasiya (Senior Vice President, Product Management, Qualys), Anmol Parida (Lead SME, Web App & API Security, Qualys), and Shubham Awasthi (SVP, Information Systems & Security, Axis Bank) examine how cloud, container, and application vulnerabilities intersect to create real-world attack paths — and how organizations can break those paths at the source. The discussion explores how fragmented tooling and siloed teams often fail to connect infrastructure, application, and code-level risks. The speakers show how a unified approach enables security teams to identify meaningful attack paths, prioritize what truly matters, and remediate issues earlier in the development and deployment lifecycle. Topics covered include: • How cloud misconfigurations, container weaknesses, and code vulnerabilities compound risk • Why modern attack paths often span multiple layers of the stack • Mapping cloud, container, and application context into a unified risk model • The importance of correlating vulnerabilities with real exploitability • How to shift issue resolution left by fixing risk directly in code and CI/CD pipelines • Reducing noise by focusing on the risks that actually lead to compromise • Real-world insights from financial-sector environments and large-scale cloud deployments This session outlines a practical, modern strategy for eliminating attack paths early — strengthening resilience across cloud-native, hybrid, and enterprise architectures.
