The Momentum of CDR – Insights from Leaders in the Field

The 2025 Glilot Nexus Roadshow and GDS Security Summit highlighted the growing need for real-time cloud detection and response (CDR) solutions among security teams, as traditional methods like bolting run-time agents onto static Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools are proving inadequate. The cloud threat landscape evolves rapidly, and periodic scans leave dangerous blind spots, as over 60% of cloud attacks stem from identity-based threats, misconfigurations, and API exposures, which CSPM tools cannot effectively track. Real-time CDR solutions, such as Stream Security's CloudTwin™, provide continuous monitoring and attack path detection, enabling security teams to visualize and respond to threats before significant damage occurs. The summit underscored the importance of reducing Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) by eliminating manual bottlenecks and providing actionable context rather than overwhelming teams with excessive logs. The overwhelming interest from CISOs and security leaders reflects a readiness to adopt more dynamic and effective cloud security strategies, as traditional SIEMs, CSPM platforms, and agent-dependent EDR solutions fail to address the evolving challenges of cloud security.
