What CISOs Must Know About the Convergence of Cloud Security and the SOC
Cloud environments now change faster than security operations can interpret risk. Ephemeral workloads, non-human identities, and AI-driven development collapsed the traditional perimeter and fractured visibility across teams.
In this panel session hosted by Aksa Taylor, Chief Research Officer at SACR, security leaders who manage cloud risk at scale across regulated environments unpack why cloud security and the SOC can no longer operate as separate disciplines.
Cloud–SOC Convergence Has Become a CISO Imperative
The panel examines real-world breakdowns between cloud security, AppSec, and SOC teams, then maps a practical path toward shared context, faster decisions, and credible remediation.
You’ll hear expert perspectives on:
- Eliminating blind spots created by ephemeral infrastructure and short-lived workloads
- Closing non-human identity and east–west traffic gaps that fuel modern cloud attacks
- Reducing alert fatigue by correlating cloud posture, data sensitivity, and exploitability
- Aligning teams through shared metrics, playbooks, and platform consolidation
- Applying AI where it accelerates context and prioritization without introducing operational risk
Featured speakers include:
- Punit Apiel, CISO at Pomelo Care, with a background in software engineering and healthcare security leadership
- Devon Rollins, Managing Director and Global Head of Security Operations and Incident Response at Morgan Stanley
- Alfonso J Yi, Vice President, Security Advisory at Prudential Financial, specializing in Governance, Risk, and Compliance
Join this panel session to learn how CISOs can turn cloud–SOC convergence into a measurable advantage.
