Heads in the Cloud, Feet on the Ground: A No-Nonsense Discussion on Cloud Data Protection

In this session, we’ll delve into how an industrial company tackled the challenge of securing non-human identities (NHIs) in their Azure environment. As the organization transitioned to cloud-first operations, it quickly faced the complexity of managing a growing number of NHIs. From APIs to service accounts and automated systems, these NHIs were critical to the company's operations, but their proliferation led to serious security and compliance risks.

Using advanced technologies, the company was able to uncover and classify all NHIs across their Azure landscape, enabling a clear understanding of ownership and access control.

Key issues tackled in the session include:
• Discovering and managing NHIs in a complex Azure environment
• Automating the remediation of high-risk identities with excessive privileges
• Ensuring continuous compliance with industry regulations
• Achieving significant reductions in security incidents and operational inefficiencies

By the end of the session, attendees will gain valuable insights on how to integrate NHI security into their own cloud environments and move from reactive to proactive management of these critical assets. The discussion will feature expert commentary on overcoming common challenges and implementing best practices to ensure secure, scalable, and compliant NHI management.

How an Industrial Company Optimized NHIs in their Azure Environment

AI Copilots such as M365 Copilot bring transformative potential, empowering your company employees to access and analyze vast amounts of enterprise data within SaaS applications. While this significantly boosts employee productivity, it introduces new data security and governance risks. In the rush to adopt Copilot adoption, many organizations have overlooked essential data controls, leading to unintended exposure of sensitive information. Employees may unknowingly query confidential data, such as salary details, M&A plans, or even passwords—information they should not be able to access.In this webinar, we will discuss a framework for enforcing best practices for safely adopting AI Copilots such as Microsoft 365. By putting in place robust data security and governance measures, we will explore how to prevent unauthorized data access and ensure that sensitive data remains protected when using Microsoft 365 Copilot within the company.

Key Takeaways:
• Understand the security implications of an unplanned AI Copilot rollout
• How to evaluate your organization’s readiness for AI Copilot adoption
• Implementing a 6-step framework for automating data security and using Copilot safely

Securing Embedded AI: Accelerate SaaS AI Copilot Adoption Safely

In this presentation we focus on the Logging and Monitoring domain, which includes thirteen control specifications that help both Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) collect, store, analyze, and report on activities and events in their cloud environments. These controls are essential for detecting and responding to security incidents, addressing operational issues, identifying system anomalies, complying with regulatory requirements, auditing security controls, and improving overall security posture and performance.

Under the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM), both CSPs and CSCs share responsibilities for implementing logging and monitoring controls. CSPs are typically responsible for logging and monitoring the underlying cloud infrastructure, such as network and system operations. CSCs, on the other hand, manage logging and monitoring within their deployed applications and services to ensure their specific security needs are addressed.

This presentation will help you understand how the implementation of logging and monitoring controls ensures enhanced visibility, accountability, and transparency of cloud operations. These practices are essential for identifying and mitigating security risks, optimizing cloud usage and performance, and maintaining secure, efficient, and compliant cloud environments.

Logging and Monitoring

Service accounts are everywhere, but their overprivileged, multi-use, and often unmanaged nature makes them a security liability. Managed identities (and other “passwordless” NHIs) are considered a safer alternative, yet they come with their own set of vulnerabilities attackers can exploit.

Join this 30-minute webinar to learn from NHI security researchers:
• The types and common pitfalls of service accounts.
• How to convert service accounts into managed identities in Azure.
• The downsides of managed identities - and a live demo of how attackers exploit them.
• Best practices to avoid common misconfigurations.

*Bonus* Get a practical tool to map all managed identities in your Azure environment (IYKYK).

Results from InformationWeek’s State of Endpoint Management Automation survey show that even with endpoint management budgets on the rise, organizations remain mired in manual tasks, legacy technologies, and a distributed technology stack that hinder effective and secure management of endpoint devices.

Register for this webinar to hear from experts discuss the findings from the recent research report and share strategies and tech to help improve the secure patching of your organization's devices in the year ahead.

How to Prep Your ITOps Team for Secure Endpoint Management in 2025

As AI-powered solutions for security become more commonplace, organizations need to understand where human expertise remains crucial. While automation can identify issues, remediation is trickier - the context and business requirements often demand more nuanced solutions that only experienced professionals can provide.

Join Michael St.Onge, Head of Technical Services at Tamnoon, as he opens up the AWS Console and walks through remediating a public S3 bucket.

Does that sound simple enough to let automation handle it? Of course, but we’ll show you why this seemingly easy-to-automate fix requires careful consideration of business needs and user access patterns to implement an effective security solution that goes beyond the standard automated recommendations.

In this session, you're going to learn:
• Real-world demonstration of when to use AI & where humans come into play to remediate a real AWS S3 security issue 
• How to evaluate security findings given a broader organizational context (and when to use AI)
• When to use automation and when to intervene to avoid missing critical business context

Hands-On Cloud Security: AI Remediations vs Human Verification
