State of Cloud Security - Practitioner Edition

State of Cloud Security - Practitioner Edition

In this episode of the Cloud Security Podcast, we bring together an incredible panel of experts to explore the evolving landscape of cloud security in 2024. Hosted by Ashish Rajan, the discussion dives deep into the challenges and realities of today’s multi-cloud environments. With perspectives ranging from seasoned veterans to emerging voices this episode offers a broad spectrum of insights from cloud security practitioners who are living and breathing cloud security everyday. We are very grateful to our panelist who took part in 1st of its kind edition for the State of Cloud Security - Meg Ashby, Damien Burks, Chris Farris, Rich Mogull, Patrick Sanders, Ammar Alim and Abdie Mohamed.

The conversation covers essential topics such as the pitfalls of multi-cloud adoption, the persistent security issues that remain even as cloud technologies advance, and the importance of specializing in one cloud platform while maintaining surface-level knowledge of others. The panelists also share their thoughts on the future of cloud security, including the increasing relevance of Kubernetes and edge security.
