Digital transformations, cloud migrations, and persistent security threats turned observability from a niche concern to an essential capability in today’s organizations. We’re still in the early days of observability maturity, but early stumbles point to where observability must go in the future.

Covid and the push to accelerated ‘remote first’ strategies have forced organizations to leverage on-demand cloud infrastructure, often without the proper design, architecture, and security strategy in place to scale safely. In addition, infrastructure as a service providers are innovating very quickly and building high-value services for us to leverage in our application architectures. Lastly, we are challenged more than ever by a lack of mature cloud skillsets available to hire. These factors add up decisions with resources, identities, and access that put our most sensitive secrets at risk. As new and innovative cloud capabilities are introduced, so too are security innovations, both in technology and process.
Grant Asplund, Growth Technologies Evangelist, will discuss the evolution of Cloud security including headwinds, issues, challenges, and concerns companies can expect to be confronted with as they pursue reaching security maturity in the Cloud.
