The State of Cloud Management in 2025

Most organizations today employ a multi-cloud environment, but finding the best fit between app interoperability, different configurations and analyzing efficiencies between cloud instances is the ultimate game of TETRIS. And with almost half of organizations using public cloud GenAI services, the struggle is real.

Topics Include:
Enterprises are rapidly shifting to public clouds while evaluating public versus private cloud solutions
Site Reliability Engineers deploy intelligent automation for 24/7 cloud infrastructure optimization
Cloud security challenges span cyberthreats, data breaches, and compliance requirements during migration
Effective cloud operations demand strong visibility and control across access, performance, and security
And much more!

Build the House, Then Lock the Doors: Agentless + Runtime for Cloud Security

Sponsored by: Wiz
Speaker(s): Nicolas Ehrman, Technical Product Marketing Manager, Wiz

Agentless security gives you the blueprint and a strong foundation—it shows you everything in your cloud, fast. But just like building a house, the complete protection comes when you add the locks, sensors, and smart systems that keep it safe while it’s lived in.In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll explore how combining agentless visibility with runtime context creates a stronger, more responsive cloud security posture. You’ll see how runtime adds the context and detection needed to prioritize real risk, catch active threats, and respond faster—with deep forensics to understand what happened and why.

Takeaways:
• Why agentless is a strong foundation for cloud visibility and risk coverage
• How runtime context enhances prioritization, detection, and response
• Real-world examples of unified visibility and runtime defense in action

Panel
