In 2021 alone, there were dozens of publicly disclosed data breaches involving misconfigured storage buckets, compromised credentials and ransomware. In 2022 and beyond, this is expected to climb as companies continue modernizing their applications and infrastructure in the cloud. Unfortunately, such modernization introduces a number of new challenges related to emerging concepts, technologies and complexities that can leave organizations vulnerable and exposed. During this talk, Zac Wilson from Orca Security will be discussing current and emerging cloud security threats, reasons why cloud security is so challenging, best practices, lessons learned and why context is a key ingredient for delivering effective cloud security.
