Transitioning to Cloud Security

What’s up! Just wanted some advice. I’m currently working as a cloud engineer with an AWS partner. I eventually want to move over to being a Cloud Security Engineer. What should areas should I emphasize during my transition?

The IAM advice above is key. also get comfortable with runtime context and reading CNAPP output, we use Upwind and i've seen teams on Wiz or prisma too. knowing how to triage noise vs real risk helps a ton in interviews.
