The Role of Cloud Security Research in 2024

Why does Cloud Security Research matter in 2024? At fwd:cloudsec EU in Brussels, we sat down with Scott Piper, a renowned cloud security researcher at Wiz, to discuss the growing importance of cloud security research and its real-world impact. Scott spoke to us about the critical differences between traditional security testing and cloud security research, explaining how his team investigates cloud providers to find out vulnerabilities, improve detection tools, and safeguard data.
