Risk Detection and Mitigation in the Cloud, and why Observability Doesn't Work for Security
Ian Farquhar -
Global Field Chief Technology Officer,
Gigamon
The concept of observability is the focus of organisations seeking to manage diverse environments across the public cloud, private cloud and on-prem environments. With hybrid cloud no longer seen as a temporary transition from on-prem to cloud native, and organisations realising that there are significant and real advantages to hybrid, the need to manage these disparate environments becomes critical. But management means multiple things: operations, performance, security.
- Are the “three pillars” of observability – events, metrics and distributed tracing – equally effective for all?
- Do you need to accept multiple tool stacks to manage these environments, or is there another way which aren’t reliant on telemetry from potentially compromised hosts?
- How does all this relate to zero trust, which over 50% of organisations say they plan to migrate to across multiple environments?

Establishing Zero Trust Security, One Step at a Time
Ben King -
Regional Chief Security Officer,
Okta
Last year, the business community was forced to adapt to a new era of distributed work—and cyber threats have adapted right along with them. Between unsecured home WiFi networks and the rise in personal devices accessing company resources, the opportunities for data theft have risen as teams have dispersed. What are the best-practice models for securing it? Why is continuing to rely on traditional approaches courting disaster? What are the steps you must take to implement Zero Trust across your ecosystem? What are the top trends in Identity Management and how can your organisation leverage these for customer success?
