Cloud Runtime Security and Cloud Application Detection and Response (CADR) are mission-critical for modern enterprises—especially for Security Operations Centers (SOCs). As organizations move to the cloud, SOCs must evolve beyond legacy tools to detect and respond to threats in runtime—where the real action happens. Attackers don’t operate on static infrastructure anymore; they exploit ephemeral cloud workloads, and gaps in real time. Without runtime visibility and response, SOC teams are left blind to cloud-native attacks. This talk will explore how security teams can integrate CADR into the SOC, adopt real-time threat detection, and build a cloud-first security strategy that actually keeps up with modern threats.

A New Era in Cloud Runtime Security: Cloud Application Detection & Response
Detecting and responding to cloud attacks has never been more challenging. Modern attacks and the ever-changing nature of cloud infrastructure and applications make security teams' lives more difficult than ever.
A new approach is needed - one that can provide a fully traceable & explainable runtime security story spanning the entire cloud technologies stack.

The Modern CISO Strategy and Priorities: Protecting Cloud Infrastructures and Applications Against Modern Attacks
In recent years, we have added more and more tools to protect our cloud infrastructures and applications , but are we really more secure?
Traditionally, we started with the cloud security posture, but was that the right move?
The cloud security market has grown and changed significantly - from CSPM, to ASPM and CNAPP. It seems that every few months a new category is popping up. But what is still missing? Where should we focus next? posture or runtime? shift left or protect right?
