As organizations increasingly rely on cloud-based solutions, evolving cloud security practices to align with modern infrastructure is no longer optional. Our Cloud Security: First Principles and Future Opportunities webcast series, excerpted from the SANS Cloud Security Exchange 2024, addresses these evolving challenges with five actionable segments.
Part 4: Evolving Cloud Security with a Modern Approach
In this session, we'll explore how organizations can adapt their security practices to fit the dynamic nature of cloud infrastructure. While the cloud isn't inherently insecure, traditional on-premises security techniques often fall short. We'll dive into the shared responsibility model between cloud providers and users, the advantages of cloud-native security controls, and how AI tools can aid automation and threat detection-without losing sight of the critical role of human analysts.
Security leaders will learn how to evaluate their current security models, adopt cloud-native approaches, and align their cloud security strategy with best practices for 2024 and beyond.
Key Takeaways
- Learn how to evolve cloud security practices to fit modern infrastructure and adopt cloud-native approaches.
- Understand the importance of identity and access management (IAM) and the use of the right tools for data protection and logging.
- Discover why doing cloud security the "cloudy way" is essential-don't rely on outdated data center methods in the cloud.
