As organizations embrace cloud adoption at an unprecedented pace, security challenges in complex, multi-cloud environments have grown exponentially. In 2025, the Chief Information Security Officer's (CISO) role is undergoing a transformation—evolving from reactive defence strategies to proactive leadership in cloud security.
Despite the inherent resilience of cloud services, the shared responsibility model remains a critical factor. Alarmingly, most cloud security incidents arise not from provider vulnerabilities but from customer misconfigurations and errors.
This session will demystify the four foundational pillars of cloud security that are essential for navigating today’s hybrid, multi-cloud landscape. Attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge approaches and technologies that are reshaping the field, ensuring compliance, and mitigating the risks posed by emerging threats. Using real-world case studies, this presentation will explore practical challenges and provide actionable guidance to elevate your cloud security posture and future-proof your organization.
After this presentation you will be able to:
- Understand the rapidly evolving cloud security landscape and articulate the four pillars essential for robust cloud security.
- Leverage innovative technologies, including automation, to streamline and strengthen your cloud security strategies.
- Implement actionable strategies to secure multi-cloud environments, reduce risks, and achieve compliance in an increasingly dynamic threat landscape.

Cloud-based IAM solutions provide clear benefits for both the customers and the vendors. There is, however, the question of what happens if the cloud-based IAM solution becomes unavailable. This could be due to a number of reasons: IAM vendor has an outage or the connection between the customer to the cloud IAM is interrupted somehow (I'm looking at you, dragging ship anchor...).
Any good disaster recovery plan must account for complete or partial outages—not only of internal systems but also third-party resources. Regulations such as DORA and NIS2 mandate not only technical controls like multi-factor authentication (MFA) but also require organizations to be resilient in the face of service disruptions.
This makes questions like, "What happens if our cloud MFA provider becomes unavailable, and how do we recover from that?" extremely relevant.
So… what’s your plan in the event of an outage? You do have one—besides "Wait and hope it'll come back soon," right?

As cloud adoption accelerates across industries, securing sensitive data in this dynamic environment has become a critical priority. While encryption is often viewed as the gold standard for protecting data, is it truly sufficient in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats? This panel brings together leading experts from cybersecurity, cloud architecture, and compliance to explore the evolving landscape of cloud data security.
Join us as we dive into the challenges of securing data at rest, in transit, and in use, and assess the role of encryption alongside other technologies like zero-trust architecture, AI-driven threat detection, and confidential computing. Panelists will discuss real-world scenarios, regulatory considerations, and practical strategies for organizations to safeguard their cloud ecosystems.
Whether you’re a seasoned IT professional or a business leader navigating the cloud journey, this discussion will provide critical insights to help you build a robust and resilient data security framework.
