2. Cloud Threat Visibility: High-fidelity Forensics Plus Exposure Management – Ward Cobleigh – ISW23 #2
Why are we seeing a re-emergence of the demand for packet and flow-based forensic data in cloud environments? In this session, we’ll discuss three reasons why IT leaders still need the same if not even better visibility in the cloud than they have in their data centers.
