As cloud adoption accelerates, the challenge of securing complex environments requires more than just individual expertise - it demands seamless collaboration across security teams. Designed for security practitioners on the front lines of cloud defense, this session delves into advanced strategies for safeguarding cloud infrastructures. We’ll explore best practices for leveraging CNAPP, securing containerized and Kubernetes environments, and integrating AI-driven security measures. By fostering strong cross-departmental communication, you’ll learn how to dismantle silos and build a unified security approach that enhances your organization’s resilience. Join us to discover how collaborative efforts among security teams lead to stronger defenses, streamlined operations, and a more secure cloud infrastructure.
