The Anatomy of a Cloud Threat in a Hybrid Multi-Cloud
Latest studies show that businesses will modernize their IT-infrastructure from a hybrid cloud environment into a hybrid multi-cloud environment within the next 3 years. With this increasing complexity in mixed infrastructures, it will become crucial to secure the growing amount of data.

Already over the past 3 years adversaries developed a cloud-conscious skill set and abused the victim-owned cloud services to gain access to their hybrid cloud environment. Therefore, to prepare for the future it is necessary to understand the presence and how threat actors use the existing hybrid cloud environments to their advantage.
3:15 PM
Dr. Francis Gaffney, Senior Director of TI & Future Labs at Mimecast

Roundtable 1: Yuecel Karabulut, Principal Solutions Architect & CISO Advisory Function Lead at Amazon Web Services

The Power of Encryption and Key Management in Mastering Cloud Security
As businesses increasingly transition to the cloud, there is a heightened expectation for stringent data isolation and comprehensive protection.

While encryption at rest is essential, its effectiveness depends on where encryption is implemented within the technology stack and how well encryption keys are managed, especially across multi-cloud environments.

This roundtable discussion will examine the pivotal role of encryption and key management in enhancing cloud security. Yuecel will provide insights into the latest innovations and best practices for deploying encryption effectively, managing keys at scale, and navigating the complexities of cloud-native security solutions. Join us to explore strategies that will help you secure your data and bolster your cloud security infrastructure.



Roundtable 2: Nikodemas Martineas, Senior Cloud Security Engineer at Partners Group

Cloud Security and Insider Threat
Most of cloud security checks, controls and alerts usually focused on external actors and clearly malicious activity. But have you consired if you're fully covered against threats coming from insiders - people with authentic identities and seemingly legitimate activities?
 
Nikas start with few real-life cloud security incidents involving insiders, and then will share his own experiences, lessons, insights within the group.


Roundtable 3: Gabriel Wierzbieniec on behalf of CSA Switzerland Chapter

Building Cloud Security: The Six DevSecOps Pillars
Why is DevSecOps considered the essential first step in establishing robust cloud security?
Discover the six pillars of DevSecOps as defined by the Cloud Security Alliance in the research cycle published from 2019 to 2024, which provides a strategic framework for integrating security into every phase of development.

Join the discussion to explore the Cloud Security Alliance's research and share your insights on securing cloud deployments with your peers.



Roundtable 4: George Necola, Head of Security & Network at SITS Group

SASE: Pioneering the Future of Enterprise Security

This roundtable will explore how organizations can effectively leverage SASE to not only mitigate threats but also enhance scalability and agility. What are the challenges in implementation, and what proven strategies can be adopted? Join an engaging discussion on the evolving role of SASE in modern security strategies, and discover practical solutions to address today’s most pressing security concerns.
