A Visual Summary of SANS CloudSecNext Summit

On June 3rd and 4th, thousands from around the globe tuned in for the SANS CloudSecNext Summit. Industry’s top practitioners and leading experts from around the globe shared actionable ideas, methods, and techniques for building and maintaining a secure cloud infrastructure with the community. It was a great opportunity for cybersecurity professionals and those new to the field.
