Original Description

Cloud environments are attractive targets for hackers due to their complexity, which can make them difficult to defend. This presentation will cover three crucial cloud security strategies that can greatly impact your cloud's security posture. We'll kick off by exposing common vulnerabilities that hackers exploit to compromise cloud environments. Then, we'll dive into effective mitigation strategies in three areas and show you how to implement them in a practical and hands-on manner. Our insights on mitigations will apply to typical enterprise cloud setups. Learning Objectives - Lead your respective organization toward securing the three most crucial areas of cloud security - Effectively communicate with stakeholders the importance of the three crucial security aspects to peers and subordinates - Measure respective cloud environment against a best practice maturity model of cloud security The content of this webcast supports materials and concepts from LDR520: Cloud Security for Leaders, https://www.sans.org/cyber-security-courses/cloud-security-leaders/ About the Speakers Jason Lam holds a leadership role at a large global financial company.
