Human error might be inevitable, but misconfiguration doesn’t have to be. The more proactive we are with audits and access controls, the less reactive we’ll have to be after a breach. 🔒 Consistency > complexity.

Great reminder: If 99% of failures are on us, that means we control 99% of the solution too. Let’s act like it.

A good security culture isn’t just about tools — it’s about training. The more your team understands why misconfigurations happen, the better they can catch them early.
