Adopting a Zero Trust Approach to Cloud Security

Round-table In-Person Event

Riyadh, May 24, 2022

Overview

As hybrid and multicloud environments continue to establish themselves as the springboard for any successful digital transformation journey, they are also introducing a set of new challenges. For today’s digital-first organizations, security, access control, and compliance rank among their top priorities. Indeed, IDC research shows that 43% of organizations in Saudi Arabia rate security as one of the key concerns they have or expect to have as they progress along their cloud journeys.

Organizations optimize their workloads by moving them from one environment to another as they use the cloud as a development and test environment — and as with the rise of DevOps, applications are constantly evolving. It is therefore necessary to be able to control these cloud workloads according to their status in order to associate them with the right configurations, access authorizations, and other layers of security in order to prevent data theft and leaks.

In this event, experts from IDC, Zscaler, and Sirar will explore the latest developments in the Kingdom’s cloud market and take an in-depth look at implementing a zero trust approach to securing applications across various cloud platforms. They will also present best-practice strategies for securing applications and data and controlling access while meeting compliance requirements.

 Security leaders are shifting their stance on cybersecurity to examine it through a strategic, business, and industry lens. Efficient, effective security for the entire enterprise is a necessity at a time when networks are evaporating, and endpoints are proliferating — and relentless adversaries continually adapt their tactics, techniques, and procedures. This panel will discuss how organizations are implementing comprehensive threat detection and response as well as assistance with elevating cybersecurity maturity.
