In today’s cloud environments, real risk isn’t just about critical CVEs, it’s about what’s exploitable and exposed. As the cloud attack surface grows, proactive risk management and frictionless automation are essential from code to cloud to reduce remediation time and provide actionable context to IT and development teams.

• De-Risk your Cloud, Security Insights Approach: Correlate vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity risks, and threat intelligence to gain contextual, prioritized visibility across your multi-cloud environment.
• Security teams move from alert overload to real-time action: orchestrating remediation, eliminating manual steps, and maintaining continuous compliance.
• Learn how to enable Cloud risk operations with TruRisk Prioritization, Attack Path Analysis, and autonomous response using no-code remediation of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.

• Exploring the key steps to develop and implement an effective framework to identity security vulnerabilities and exposures.
• Integration of security observed exposures into development pipelines
• Managing exemptions programmatically.
• Leveraging AI to generate remediation actions.

This session explores how integrating data, AI, cloud computing, and robust security measures are crucial for building a resilient future. By harnessing these technologies, we can drive innovation, protect sensitive information, and maintain trust in the organisational landscape. Our speakers will explore these:

• Leverage data and AI to drive innovation while ensuring security.
• Protect sensitive information and maintain trust.
• Key challenges when integrating data, AI, cloud, and security.
• Managing risks across cloud environments.
