Story
Inside Southwest Airlines, cloud security review used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of the United States. Cloud security engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Southwest Airlines uses Security Awareness from Proofpoint as the working layer for cloud misconfigurations. Proofpoint focuses on human-centric cybersecurity, especially email threat protection, data loss prevention, and awareness training. The practical change is simple: cloud security review has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Southwest Airlines gets from Proofpoint is a durable place to run cloud security review and a way for cloud security engineers to see the same cloud misconfigurations at the same time.
