AGENDA

The cloud security landscape is shifting at an unprecedented pace. Traditional security strategies are no longer enough to keep up with modern threats. In this opening keynote, we’ll explore why security teams must evolve their mindset, tools, and approach to protect cloud environments effectively—and why the strategies that got you here won’t be enough for the challenges ahead

The speed and scale of cloud threats are accelerating, challenging enterprises to rethink their security strategies. In this session, we unveil the cloud threat landscape and how Sysdig 555 Benchmark sets a modern standard for cloud security operations. Learn how leading organizations are leveraging real-time threat detection, AI-driven automation, and runtime insights to stay ahead of modern cloud attacks.

Cloud security challenges aren’t just rooted in misconfigurations or missing controls. They often emerge from misalignment between teams, unclear ownership, and the pressure to move fast in modern environments. In this keynote, Shamane explores the emotional and leadership challenges that surface as organisations accelerate into the AI era: shifting trust, growing complexity, and the widening gap between automation and human decision-making.

Drawing from her book Cyber Mayday and the Day After, she shares crisis-tested lessons that reveal the human dynamics quietly shaping cloud resilience. As AI amplifies both innovation and risk, this keynote sets the scene for the day ahead and reminds us that the real differentiator in security isn’t just your stack, but your people, clarity, and culture.

In this session, learn how AI is changing the game, enabling security teams to detect, analyze, and respond to threats in real time. This session explores how AI-driven security enhances human decision-making, reducing investigation times from hours to minutes-improving efficiency, reducing alert fatigue, and stopping breaches before they cause damage.

In this session, discover how BitMEX is strengthening the security of its global crypto trading platform by embedding runtime threat detection into its cloud-native infrastructure. Learn how the team eliminated blind spots across containers and Kubernetes environments, enabling real-time visibility and faster response to threats—all while maintaining performance at scale. Gain practical insights from BitMEX’s journey to proactive, modern runtime security.

As organisations scale, maintaining consistent visibility and security control becomes increasingly complex—especially across multi-cloud, diverse teams and toolsets. In this panel, industry leaders will share real-world strategies for breaking down silos, aligning DevOps and security, and establishing unified controls to manage risk and accelerate innovation. Gain insights into what it takes to tame the complexity of modern cloud estates.

As cloud environments grow in scale and complexity, securing them requires more than static controls. This session explores how runtime insights enable organisations to secure identity and access, and defend cloud workloads in real time. Learn how visibility into live activity empowers teams to reduce risk, improve response times, and drive better business outcomes—without slowing innovation.

As cloud environments continue to evolve, staying ahead means thinking beyond today’s challenges. In this session, we will unveil the latest advancements in our CNAPP platform, upcoming features and releases, designed to help organisations strengthen their cloud defenses.
