As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, CISOs must help their organizations keep pace with evolving cloud solutions, especially when it comes their security posture.

In this session, we will cover:

  • Does your risk appetite align to your cloud strategy?
  • Is your cybersecurity model mature enough for cloud?
  • Have you shifted your cybersecurity model left?
  • What happens if you decide to leave the cloud and bring things back on prem?

11:30am – 12:30pm: How to Think Like a Threat Actor in the Cloud

Julian Wayte, Solutions Engineering Manager, Uptycs

Organizations can meet compliance/regulatory responsibilities in the cloud, but still be susceptible to a threat actor escalating privileges, exfiltrating data, targeting you for ransomware. Threat actors today have become cloud experts. Their TTPs are evolving quicker than most want to believe. Therefore it’s time we start thinking like them and mimicking detection on their attack behavior. In this session, Sudarsan Kannan of Uptycs will explain how organizations can detect and respond to attacker tactics and techniques in the cloud.

12:30pm – 1:30pm: Luncheon and Exhibit Break

1:30pm – 2:30pm: How The Business and IT Team Can Bolster Cloud Security By Working Together

Harry Holmes, Solutions Engineer, Acronis

The ever changing threat landscape complicates the management of our cloud and internal network security, processes, and procedures from the C suite to the end user. While large security breaches always make the news, the true cost of the breach and millions of other smaller instances go unnoticed with potential catastrophic repercussions. How do we change the optics of security? How do we bridge the knowledge gap? How does this provide us a stronger security posture for both SMBs and Corporate interests? We all know the traditional route of training and testing which help, at least in part, manage some of the risk from the user domain and other potential threat vectors. As MSPs we are unable to maintain a constant presence so how do you provide the needed protection, training, and testing while managing customer needs?
