As cloud environments evolve and become increasingly complex, the future of cloud security is more critical than ever. This panel will explore emerging trends, future challenges, and cutting-edge strategies that will define the next generation of cloud security.

• What does the future of multi-cloud security look like, and how can businesses stay ahead?
• How will AI and machine learning evolve to become essential tools in threat detection and incident response?
• What are the next big cybersecurity risks that organisations need to prepare for in cloud environments?
• How can organisations build more resilient cloud security frameworks to adapt to an ever-changing landscape?
• The role of automation in the future of cloud security: Can we rely on it to defend against evolving threats?

In this innovative session, attendees will be faced with a series of scenarios that they may face in their roles. Attendees will discuss the possible courses of action with their peers to consider the ramifications of each option before logging their own course of action.

Results will be tallied and analysed by our session facilitator and results will impact the way the group moves through the activity.

Will we collectively choose the right course of action?
