Everyone backs up their data. Almost no one backs up the configuration around it — and that's why a single misconfigured DNS record, deleted Route 53 zone, or wiped Okta tenant can take an entire business offline even when the data is safe. Aharon Twizer, CEO and Co-Founder of ControlMonkey, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to walk through the resilience gap most cloud teams don't see until an incident hits. Drawing on his journey from co-founding Spot.io (acquired by NetApp for $450M) through AWS to launching ControlMonkey in 2022, Aharon explains how the platform reverse-engineers live configuration into code across AWS, Azure, GCP, Cloudflare, Akamai, Okta, Entra ID, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Palo Alto, and even Datadog dashboards. He and Alan dig into the shared responsibility blind spot for SaaS identity providers, why 100 hallucinating AI agents with admin permissions are the new ransomware-class threat, and how to actually plan an RTO for the systems that bring a business back online.
