Beyond CSPM: Securing Cloud Data in the Age of Digital Transformation

As organizations accelerate their migration to the cloud, they face a critical challenge in maintaining the same level of security and control they once had in on-premises environments. While Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) technologies have provided valuable visibility into cloud infrastructure, they fail to address the most crucial asset: the data itself. This session will explore the evolving landscape of cloud security, focusing on the emergence of Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) as a vital complement to existing cloud security solutions. We'll discuss how DSPM aims to restore the granular visibility and security of data in cloud environments.
