On the Highway to Cloud Security Hell?

Is your cloud team successfully deploying applications and entire cloud infrastructures through automation and infrastructure as code? That’s fantastic! Everything set up in a few minutes! But, have you considered the potential risks posed by cyberattacks? How quickly could an intruder destroy everything?

In this engaging session, we will focus on a critical yet often overlooked aspect of cloud security: machine-to-machine authentication. Many organizations are unaware of where to start when it comes to identifying and mitigating these emerging threats.

 

What to Expect: 

This session will provide business and project leaders with critical insights into the often-overlooked risks of machine-to-machine authentication, which can become a blind spot in cloud security strategies. You’ll learn how these vulnerabilities can directly impact business operations, customer trust, and regulatory compliance—especially in multi-cloud and hybrid environments.

We’ll also examine real-world cases, including the Azure Signing Key Loss (Storm-0558) incident, to illustrate how security missteps at the cloud infrastructure level can have far-reaching consequences.

This event is designed to empower leaders and decision-makers with the knowledge to:

• Ask the right questions,

• Bridge communication gaps between business and technical teams,

• And shape cloud strategies that prioritize both agility and security.

We will look into the distinctions between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS for workload identities, as well as explore the complexities of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures. Drawing on his expertise with Azure and GCP, Klaus will provide valuable insights into the implications of the Azure Signing Key Loss (Storm-0558) and its significant impact on IT departments.

 

Key Takeaways and reasons for attending:

• Learn how to pinpoint risks related to the workload identity landscape of multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
• Develop strategies for safeguarding workload identities in open ecosystems that involve numerous external partners.
