Disrupter Presenter: “How to find your most critical cloud risks and harden your cloud against attack“

Security breaches in the cloud usually don’t exploit a single misconfiguration or vulnerability. Instead, they focus on a toxic combination of multiple issues that in isolation wouldn’t necessarily raise a red flag, given the abundance of alerts that every team needs to address today. Join this session to learn how you can see your clouds the way an attacker would, how you can identify these toxic combinations, fix the most critical risks in your cloud environments, and harden them against attack effectively.

In today’s digital landscape, the role of the CIO has become the most dynamic amongst their peers. CIOs are focused on finding the most transformative technologies that enable them to bring value to their enterprise and customers.
Apex Assembly is proud to host an exclusive and private CIO National Cloud Transformation Summit focusing on Cloud Optimization, Analytics, DevOps, Security, ML, AI and all cloud related topics.
