Today, digital transformation in the cloud is continuous — and with it comes an ever-expanding risk landscape that is increasingly challenging. As IT teams are tasked with meeting these challenges, they must focus on scaling their businesses securely, while continuing to innovate to improve the customer experience. 

From that critical first step of migrating applications and infrastructure, to the considerations around modernizing and scaling in cloud-native platforms, you need an integrated security plan that moves with your business — no matter where you are on your digital transformation journey. 

Speaker: Sundar Jayashekar, Senior Director of Product Management

 No matter where your organization is in their AWS migration journey, your IT and security teams are taking responsibility to provide a secure environment from the software development lifecycle to production. You need a complete and credible plan that helps you to maximize scarce resources efficiently and allows developers to safely embrace cloud-native development that is prepared for new threats. In this session, Palo Alto Networks and industry experts will share current research on adversary techniques, best practices for operationalizing security, recommendations for shifting security left with a prevention-first approach, and how to remove blind spots.

Today's perception of work has changed forever. No longer solely indicative of an office location, work is now an activity that occurs from anywhere, on any device and using numerous different applications. 

With an awareness of the emerging threat landscape, organizations must now support the flexibility of this modern workplace and the related complexity, without compromising on security and user experience. 

Join this session to learn about a combined approach from Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud that protects your hybrid workforce, by seamlessly and securely providing access to applications — from any device while safeguarding users and data.

The only constant in cloud computing is change. Today's modern (cloud-native) computing has evolved toward a single tool for securing everything running in the cloud. Containers and container-platform cloud-technology like Kubernetes, for instance, is seeing heavy adoption by global enterprises to run their business-critical applications. Operational realities driving this consolidation are: 

 1. Security program maturity correlates to operational excellence and enables more productive development

2. Shift-left security is accelerating. 

3. Collaboration across teams is essential to better security outcomes. 

We'll examine what technologies in the cloud bring the best benefits and why they succeed.
