Where can you find leaders from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and SANS Institute, together on one virtual stage? It's happening for the first time ever at the SANS Cloud Security Exchange 2023.
At the inaugural event in 2022, thousands of attendees from across the globe enjoyed learning from independent cloud security experts from SANS Institute who were paired with leaders from the cloud security providers. It worked so well that we're doing it again. Attend the second annual 100% free and online Cloud Security Exchange to learn what's worked and hasn't worked in cloud security architecture, threat detection, and implementation best practices to help your organization build leading cloud security capabilities.

Event Agenda
| Timeline (EDT) | Session Details |
|---|---|
| 11:00AM | Welcome & Opening Remarks Featuring: Frank Kim, Event Chairperson, SANS Institute |
| 11:15AM | Session One | Cloud Security: Shared Fate, Identity, Secure Data and the Coming AI Cloud security is a shared responsibility between the cloud provider and the customer. The cloud provider is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure, while the customer is responsible for the security of their data and applications - and there is a lot of nuance around that. A shared fate model builds on shared responsibility to improve customer cloud security. Many traditional cloud security practices focus on the oversized role of identity management, secure configurations, and data security, which are evolving and still very much at the core of our attention. In addition to traditional security measures focused on securing the cloud infrastructure, organizations should also consider the use of cloud-enabled capabilities with artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their cloud security posture and detection/response models. AI can be used to detect and respond to threats more quickly and effectively than traditional security solutions. Featuring: Dr. Anton Chuvakin, Security Advisor at Office of the CISO, Google Cloud Dave Shackleford, Senior Instructor, SANS Institute |
| 12:00PM | Session Two | Navigating Cloud Security Challenges: Principles and Strategies for Cyber Defense As organizations embrace the cloud at an ever-increasing rate, they encounter not only operational hurdles but also pose significant challenges for their security teams. These teams are tasked with reshaping their strategies to effectively protect against emerging threats in this new landscape. With over a billion endpoints, millions of customers, and its massive global cloud presence, this session will discuss Microsoft's principles of cyber defense in the cloud, how it organizes to defend itself, and the feedback loops between all phases of NIST frameworks through its governance. Along with these continuous processes that optimize continuous learning, we will cover how Microsoft utilizes its own products for defense scenarios that the reader can leverage and implement. Featuring: Dr. Andre Alfred, Vice President, Microsoft Azure Security Ryan Nicholson, Certified Instructor, SANS Institute |
