In 2022 and beyond\, this is expected to clim b as companies continue modernizing their applications and infrastructure in the cloud. Unfortunately\, as the identity becomes the new security per imeter security vendors and security skills have struggled to keep up effe ctively. In most breaches\, identities with permission combinations that e nable ransomware attacks and data leaks are overlooked because security pr ofessionals don’t have the context to distinguish between noise and aler ts that represent legitimate risk or imminent compromise. During this talk \, Zac Wilson from Orca Security will be discussing current cloud security threats\, reasons why cloud security is so challenging\, and why context is a key ingredient for delivering effective cloud security. Zac will also be sharing best practices\, lessons learned and recommendations drawn fro m his experience as a Sr. Field Engineer at Orca Security.\n* Zac Wilson\, MBA\, CISSP\, Sr. Security Engineer @ Orca Security\n\nZac Wilson is a Sr .

CDK makes it much easier to create the co rrect\, least-privilege for a solution\, eliminating any excuse for using roles with too much access. Pat will demonstrate an EventBridge solution t hat uses the best practice for roles and policies.\n* Patrick Ryan\, Cloud Practice Lead at Evans & Chambers Technology\n\nPat Ryan has over 30 year s of IT experience\, mainly around government and telecommunications enter prises.
