The New Future of Cloud Security: Vendor Lock-In, Runtime, and SOC Readiness

The cloud security landscape may have just shifted — and we're here to break it down.

In this special panel episode, host Ashish Rajan is joined by an all-star group of cloud and cybersecurity experts to discuss one of the most important conversations in cloud security today: the changing nature of security architecture, SOC readiness, and how teams must evolve in a multi-cloud world.

Guests include:


We Cover:

  • Why cloud security is now beyond CSPM and CNAPP
  • The impact of major market moves on enterprise cloud strategy
  • What vendor lock-in really means in a multi-cloud era
  • How runtime and real-time security are taking center stage
  • The rise of AI-SPM and AI-powered SOCs
  • What CISOs and practitioners should actually be doing now
