Securing the cloud isn’t easy. Thales Group reported that the percentage of corporate data stored in the cloud has doubled from 2015 (30%) to 2022 (60%). Meanwhile, the 2023 Unit 42 Attack Surface Threat Report, published by a threat research branch of Palo Alto Networks, reported that “80% of security exposures were observed in cloud environments.” Because this percentage is significantly larger than the percentage of data in the cloud, this implies that the cloud is somehow uniquely vulnerable, or that the cloud is uniquely challenging for security teams.

Enter the SANS CloudSecNext Summit Solutions Track 2025. This event will provide you with practical solutions to these challenges from some of the world’s leading experts. We will deliver the latest tools, techniques, and procedures for cloud, multicloud, and hybrid environments. We hope you will be able to take what you learn in this event to make your cloud environments as secure, if not more secure, than your infrastructure on-premises.

Cloud Security is Exposure Management

The cloud is now the enterprise’s fastest-growing attack surface — dynamic, ephemeral, and identity-driven. Attack Surface Management (ASM) reveals what’s exposed externally, while Cloud Security uncovers misconfigurations and risky permissions inside. Together, they form a core pillar of Exposure Management.

The SANS Cloud Security Survey shows the stakes: only 44% of organizations leverage cloud provider APIs for security, and over 50% cite lack of visibility as a top risk. Tenable One unifies ASM, cloud, and vulnerability data into a single risk view, enabling organizations to prioritize and remediate exposures with context and confidence.
