Multicloud strategy for AWS and GCP

What is a good multicloud strategy in 2024? We spoke to Vivek Menon, CISO for Digital Turbine about the maturity and security capabilities of major cloud service providers, AWS and GCP.

Vivek spoke about the journey from on-premise to multi-cloud landscapes, the strategic approaches to cloud security in 2024, and the unique challenges that teams face across different cloud platforms. Vivek shared his insights into IAM, misconfigurations, and the value of dedicated cloud-specific teams provide a roadmap for organizations aiming to enhance their cloud security posture.
