In this session, James will argue that while companies are tempted to start with visibility and posture management, they would be better served to start their security journey with meaningful runtime protection. James will give a brief overview of what runtime solutions exist in the market, and what combination of features are most important to building a robust real security program. If you're tired of chasing down false positives and debatable findings, you won't want to miss it!

A New Era in Cloud Runtime Security: Cloud Application Detection & Response
Detecting and responding to cloud attacks has never been more challenging. Modern attacks and the ever-changing nature of cloud infrastructure and applications make security teams' lives more difficult than ever.
A new approach is needed - one that can provide a fully traceable & explainable runtime security story spanning the entire cloud technologies stack.

The Modern CISO Strategy and Priorities: Protecting Cloud Infrastructures and Applications Against Modern Attacks
In recent years, we have added more and more tools to protect our cloud infrastructures and applications , but are we really more secure?
Traditionally, we started with the cloud security posture, but was that the right move?
The cloud security market has grown and changed significantly - from CSPM, to ASPM and CNAPP. It seems that every few months a new category is popping up. But what is still missing? Where should we focus next? posture or runtime? shift left or protect right?
