Multi-cloud is no longer a buzzword—it's the default reality for most organizations. Yet, despite massive cloud investments, most CXOs, CTOs, and DevOps leaders still feel blind when it comes to controlling costs, security, and performance across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
During our CXO Workshop: The Future of Multi-Cloud Management, we uncovered why so many organizations struggle to achieve true control—and how to change that.
Why Cloud Visibility Is Broken
In every roundtable we host, one frustration stands out: architecture diagrams are outdated the moment they're created.
Cloud environments evolve daily with new services, workloads, and policies being deployed. Static diagrams simply can't keep up.
In a critical incident, teams waste valuable minutes trying to trace root causes using old diagrams, fragmented dashboards, or spreadsheets.
Cloud data remains siloed between DevOps, security, and finance teams, which makes collaboration during crises a nightmare.
The result? Firefighting becomes routine, and cloud sprawl turns into a costly, high-risk problem.
The Cost Overrun Crisis
One of the most shocking insights shared during the workshop came from a SaaS CTO who admitted that 30% of their cloud budget was being wasted on unused or over-provisioned resources.
Finance teams only detect these overspends after receiving monthly bills—when it's too late to act.
Most companies lack real-time cost allocation and cannot pinpoint which teams or projects are responsible for budget overruns.
Cloud tagging strategies, while helpful, are easily mismanaged or ignored, resulting in inaccurate reporting.
The hidden costs of poor visibility extend beyond money—they slow down product innovation and increase the risk of outages due to rushed deployments.
IAM Drift: The Hidden Security Threat
Security leaders also face an invisible threat: IAM drift.
Roles, permissions, and policies are often inconsistent across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Manual oversight means a single misconfiguration can lead to a security gap—or worse, a compliance violation during an audit.
CISOs are left worrying about who has access to critical resources, without a reliable way to visualize and enforce access policies.
"We don't fear hackers as much as we fear our own IAM chaos."

The Cloudshot Approach: From Chaos to Control
At the workshop, we demonstrated how Cloudshot transforms the way teams see and manage their cloud infrastructure:
Real-Time Infrastructure Visualization
Instead of static diagrams, Cloudshot provides a live, interactive topology map of all your multi-cloud assets.
Cost Optimization and FinOps Integration
Cloudshot identifies unused resources, monitors cost anomalies, and helps teams reduce cloud waste by 20–30% within weeks.
IAM Visualization and Compliance
Our platform maps all access permissions visually, making it easy for security teams to track and fix misconfigurations before they cause harm.
The combination of these features creates a single source of truth for DevOps, security, and finance teams—aligning them like never before.
Real-World Results
The success stories we shared during the workshop spoke volumes:
- A Fintech company cut incident resolution time by 40% by using Cloudshot's real-time visualization.
- A SaaS firm saved $50,000 in monthly cloud spend by eliminating unused instances and applying intelligent cost policies.
- A healthcare tech company passed its ISO 27001 audit in record time, thanks to Cloudshot's IAM mapping and role-based dashboards.
These aren't theoretical benefits—they're real outcomes that organizations achieved in just weeks after adopting Cloudshot.
