Cloud Security failure doesn’t come from lack of security tooling options, rather, these tools are not aligned to support proper workflow, fail to provide visibility, and actually increase risk because of longer time to identify and remediate threats.
The challenge of bringing tools into a framework that improves SOC efficiency and provides human scale suffers from complications in bringing many provider and vendor ecosystems into harmony across security workflows, recruiting multiple organizational roles as security contributors, and managing the practice with scarce resources in people and skills. Hear Fortinet discuss a real-world implementation of a successful cloud outcome by leveraging AI to harmonize signals, speed response and drive down risk.
