| TOPIC
Stopping Cloud Breaches – Cloud Security at scale and speed
| ABSTRACT
There has been an exponential acceleration of cloud adoption and through this journey, it is imperative that IT leaders understand the security controls necessary for cloud environments as well as how threat actors are targeting cloud infrastructure. Too often, organisations are left with poor visibility and control of cloud resources, fragmented approaches to detecting and preventing misconfigurations, ineffective protection for cloud workloads and containers, and the inability to maintain compliance — ultimately leading to increased risk to the business.
In this presentation, Chris will cover today’s cloud threat landscape as well as some of the common challenges organisations face in securing their cloud environments.
Trusted by more than 13,000 organisations globally, Chris will also walk through how CrowdStrike uses its own cloud-native technology and expertise to stay ahead of adversaries, and secure our own infrastructure, one of the world’s largest cloud environments.
