Sponsored Post Our reliance on the cloud continues to grow steadily, with a greater variety of services hosted on it than ever before.
The unfortunate result of this increased reliance is that cybercriminals are increasingly drawn to hacking cloud computing platforms so they can grab our data.
Perhaps it’s no surprise then that cloud security is at the top of the agenda for CISOs, but it’s a complex topic to keep an eye on. Anyone who wants to better understand this ever-changing landscape should mark Tuesday, August 27, in their diary, the date of the SANS Cloud Security Exchange 2024 event.
This completely free annual gathering of top security experts is an opportunity for security professionals everywhere to learn from and connect with experts and peers to build on their existing cloud security knowledge. This virtual event features insights from some of the biggest names in the cloud industry—Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure—as well as thought leaders and experienced trainers from the SANS Institute itself.
Participants in the program can gain in-depth information about the latest and most effective cloud security architectures and get tips on detecting cloud threats. They can share notes on best practices and get practical advice to help build strong cloud security capabilities for their organizations.
In addition to listening to expert panels, attendees can join interactive sessions where they can ask questions and get answers from experts in real time. They will be able to tap into a wealth of knowledge and resources that can be immediately incorporated into their cloud security strategies. In addition, they will receive five Continuing Professional Education (CPE) points to add to those they have already gained from participating in specialized training, contributing to a valuable professional certification.
Let's take a closer look at some of the sessions that will be available on the day:
Developing Cloud Security with a Modern Approach: Dr. Anton Chuvakin, Security Advisor at Google Cloud, will address why organizations struggle to implement effective cloud security, despite traditional best practices. He will also discuss some of the newer best practices that are evolving.
Identity Update: Microsoft’s Angelica Faber and SANS Institute’s Simon Vernon will talk about the changing landscape of digital identity and the impact of generative AI technologies on it.
Security by Design: Guiding Principles for Proactive Security: Paul Vecsey, VP at AWS, and Eric Johnson of the SANS Institute will explore adopting security as a core business requirement with Security by Design principles.
AI Security Challenges, Hype, and Opportunities: Brandon Evans and Ahmed Abu Gharbia of the SANS Institute will discuss how AI can enable criminals to take advantage of new attack vectors.
Senior security professionals can use this unique event to connect with thousands of like-minded attendees from around the world, all interested in advancing cloud security.
