The Ultimate Guide to Cloud Security: A Deep Dive with Richard Stiennon

If you are struggling to navigate the complex landscape of cloud security. Our latest podcast episode featuring Richard Stiennon shares some invaluable insights and practical advice. From vendor selection to multi-cloud strategies and beyond, this podcast covers it all.

Learnings from the podcast

  1. Vendor / Platform selection should be based on organization goals. CISOs & Security leaders should prioritize selection based on current posture and look at achieving a set of future goals vs compliance needs or by following a checkbox approach.
  2. Vendor health is an important aspect of determining a platform/vendor. For agent-based solutions, avoid & delay automatic updates from vendors.
  3. When rolling out vendor tools, follow a phased rollout and add the rollout as part of a contract clause. This will push vendors to prioritize implementation, support & training.
